Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- Cooked, sliced grilled chicken breast – about 1 cup
- Romaine lettuce – 2 cups, chopped
- Caesar dressing – 3 tablespoons
- Parmesan cheese, freshly grated – 2 tablespoons
- Croutons – ¼ cup
- Flour tortillas – 2 large
- Lemon juice – 1 teaspoon (freshly squeezed)
- Black pepper – freshly cracked, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: If you don’t have pre-cooked chicken, grill or pan-sear a chicken breast seasoned simply with salt and pepper. Let it rest before slicing thinly to keep it juicy.
- Toss the Romaine with Dressing: Chop fresh Romaine lettuce into bite-size pieces and gently toss with Caesar dressing, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, and a squeeze of lemon juice for brightness.
- Assemble the Wrap: Lay a flour tortilla flat, layer the dressed Romaine evenly, add sliced chicken on top, sprinkle with croutons and freshly cracked black pepper, then fold and roll tightly.
- Optional Warm-Up: If you prefer warm wraps, place them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes per side until golden and slightly crispy.
Notes
- Use fresh ingredients like crisp romaine and freshly grated Parmesan to enhance flavor and texture.
- Don’t overdress the lettuce to prevent sogginess in your wraps.
- Warm tortillas before assembling to avoid cracks and tears.
- Double the croutons for added crunch.
- Serve immediately for best taste, or reheat gently if needed.
