Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
- 1/3 cup Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 large flour or whole wheat tortillas
- Optional: croutons (crushed), sliced avocado, cherry tomatoes
Instructions
- Season and Cook the Chicken: Rub chicken with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill or pan-sear over medium heat for 5–6 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through. Let rest, then slice into thin strips.
- Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, combine chopped romaine lettuce, sliced chicken, Caesar dressing, and Parmesan cheese. Toss until evenly coated.
- Warm the Tortillas: Heat each tortilla in a dry skillet or microwave for 10–15 seconds to make it soft and pliable.
- Assemble the Wrap: Place the Caesar chicken mixture in the center of the tortilla. Add any extras like crushed croutons or avocado slices. Fold the sides in and roll tightly.
- Optional Step: Grill the wrapped tortilla for 1–2 minutes per side to create a golden, crispy texture.
- Serve and Enjoy: Slice in half and serve with extra dressing on the side for dipping.
Notes
To keep wraps fresh, store ingredients separately and assemble just before eating. For a lighter option, use Greek yogurt-based Caesar dressing or wrap with lettuce leaves instead of tortillas. These wraps are perfect for meal prep and stay crisp up to two days in the fridge.
