Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 12 minutes
Total Time 27 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • Chicken: 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs if you prefer)
  • Romaine lettuce: 1 large heart, chopped
  • Tortillas: 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
  • Caesar dressing: 1/2 cup (store-bought or homemade)
  • Parmesan cheese: 1/3 cup, freshly grated or shaved
  • Croutons: 1 cup, lightly crushed for easier wrapping
  • Lemon: 1, for juice and zest
  • Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
  • Garlic: 1 clove, minced (or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder)
  • Salt and black pepper: To taste
  • Optional add-ins: Cherry tomatoes, crispy bacon, avocado, or red onion

Method
 

  1. Prep the chicken: Pat the chicken dry. Season both sides with salt, pepper, a drizzle of olive oil, and minced garlic. Add a squeeze of lemon and a pinch of zest for brightness.
  2. Heat the grill or pan: Preheat an outdoor grill, grill pan, or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates or pan to prevent sticking.
  3. Grill the chicken: Cook the chicken 5–6 minutes per side, until internal temp hits 165°F (74°C) and juices run clear. Let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
  4. Warm the tortillas: Heat each tortilla in a dry skillet for 15–20 seconds per side, just until soft and pliable. Keep them covered with a towel to stay warm.
  5. Toss the salad base: In a bowl, combine chopped romaine, Caesar dressing, and Parmesan. Toss to coat lightly. Add more dressing only if needed—too much makes a soggy wrap.
  6. Add the crunch: Fold in lightly crushed croutons. They’ll soften a bit but still keep texture.
  7. Assemble the wraps: Lay a warm tortilla flat. Add a layer of the Caesar salad, top with sliced grilled chicken, and any extras like tomatoes or bacon. Keep fillings in a line down the center.
  8. Wrap it right: Fold in the sides, then roll tightly from the bottom up. Slice in half on a slight diagonal for a clean presentation.
  9. Finish with freshness: Add a final squeeze of lemon over the cut sides if you like a bright finish.
