- 12Roll the bottom of the wrap over the filling tightly and keep rolling all the way up. Then wrap the parchment paper tightly over the roll, fold the sides of the parchment paper in like a burrito to secure the ends. Repeat with the second wrapSlice them in half and enjoy your delicious high protein Caesar Wrap!
