Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (approximately 12 oz total)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Salad and Wrap
- 2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1/4 cup Caesar dressing
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large flour tortillas
Instructions
- Preheat and grill chicken: Preheat your grill or skillet to medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and allow the chicken to rest to retain its juices.
- Slice chicken: Once rested, slice the grilled chicken breasts into thin strips for easy wrapping and even distribution in the wrap.
- Prepare lettuce mixture: In a bowl, toss the chopped romaine lettuce with the Caesar dressing until evenly coated, ensuring each bite has that classic creamy flavor.
- Assemble wraps: Lay out each flour tortilla and spread a generous amount of Caesar dressing evenly over the surface. Layer the sliced chicken strips on top, followed by the dressed romaine lettuce mixture, and sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over everything.
- Roll the wraps: Fold in the sides of each tortilla and then roll tightly from the bottom to the top to enclose all the fillings. Use toothpicks to secure the wraps if needed.
- Serve or store: Serve the Chicken Caesar Wraps immediately for best flavor and texture, or pack them into lunchboxes for a convenient meal on the go.
Notes
- For best results, let the chicken rest after grilling to keep it juicy.
- You can substitute the Caesar dressing with a lighter version to reduce calories if desired.
- Feel free to add sliced tomatoes or cucumbers for extra freshness.
- Use whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas to make this recipe more nutritious or suitable for specific dietary needs.
- If packing for later, keep the dressing separate until ready to eat to prevent soggy wraps.
