Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- Grilled chicken breast – about 6 oz per wrap
- Romaine lettuce – 1 cup, chopped
- Caesar dressing – 2 tablespoons
- Parmesan cheese – 1 tablespoon, freshly grated or shaved
- Flour tortillas – 1 large, soft and pliable
- Croutons (optional) – 1/4 cup, roughly crushed
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and optional garlic powder or Italian herbs. Grill or pan-sear over medium heat for 5-7 minutes per side, until fully cooked and browned. Rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly.
- Wash and Chop Lettuce: Rinse romaine lettuce under cold water, then dry thoroughly using a salad spinner or paper towels. Chop into bite-sized pieces to ensure a fresh crunch.
- Assemble the Wrap: Lay a flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous spoonful of Caesar dressing in the center. Layer the chopped romaine, sliced chicken, Parmesan cheese, and croutons (if using), being careful not to overfill.
- Roll and Serve: Fold the tortilla sides inward, then roll from one end to the other tightly but gently to secure the filling. Slice diagonally for presentation and serve immediately or wrap for later.
Notes
- Marinate the chicken in olive oil, lemon juice, and herbs beforehand for extra flavor.
- Warm the tortillas slightly to make rolling easier and prevent cracking.
- Dry lettuce thoroughly to avoid a soggy wrap.
- Use freshly grated or shaved Parmesan for better taste.
- Roll the wrap tightly but gently to keep fillings secure.
