Step-by-Step Beginner-Friendly Instructions

1. Make the cream cheese spread:
   In a medium bowl, mix softened cream cheese with 2 tablespoons Italian dressing until smooth and creamy. Stir in sliced scallion. The mixture should be spreadable and lightly tangy
2. Prep the wraps:
   Lay tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spread an even layer of the flavored cream cheese over each tortilla, leaving a 1-inch border.
3. Layer the fillings:
   Add romaine lettuce first, then chicken, tomato slices, torn basil, and shredded mozzarella
4. Finish & roll:
   Drizzle lightly with the remaining 1 teaspoon Italian dressing. Fold in the sides and roll tightly like a burrito.
5. Serve:
   Slice in half if desired and drizzle with balsamic glaze just before serving
