Ingredients

Main Wrap

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
• ¼ cup Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)
• ¼ cup shredded or shaved Parmesan cheese
• ½ cup croutons (optional), crushed slightly
• 2 large flour tortillas (10-inch)

Optional Add-ins

• Sliced avocado
• Cooked bacon
• Cherry tomatoes, halved
• Red onion slices

Instructions

1. Cook the Chicken
   Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken 5–6 minutes per side until golden and fully cooked (165°F internal). Rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
2. Prep the Tortillas
   Warm tortillas in a skillet or microwave for 15–20 seconds to soften. This prevents cracking during wrapping.
3. Toss the Filling
   In a large bowl, combine chopped romaine, Caesar dressing, Parmesan, and crushed croutons (if using). Add the sliced chicken and toss gently to coat everything evenly.
4. Assemble the Wraps
   Spoon half the mixture into each tortilla. Fold in the sides and roll tightly into a wrap.
5. Serve or Store
   Slice diagonally and serve immediately, or wrap in foil or parchment for an on-the-go meal.

FAQs

Can I use rotisserie chicken?

Absolutely! Shred or slice and warm slightly before tossing with dressing.

Can I make these ahead?

Yes. Store components separately and assemble before eating. Assembled wraps will keep up to 2 days in the fridge.

What’s the best Caesar dressing?

Choose one with bold flavor — anchovy and lemon make a difference. Try a homemade version for extra punch.

Can I make it dairy-free?

Yes. Use a dairy-free Caesar dressing and sub nutritional yeast for Parmesan.

Can I grill the whole wrap?

Definitely. Grill seam-side down for a crispy, melty version — like a Caesar panini!
