A comforting and quick-to-make wrap filled with grilled chicken, crunchy romaine, and creamy Caesar dressing, perfect for busy weeknights or picnics.
Ingredients
Wrap Ingredients
- 2 large large flour tortillas (10-inch) Soft and flexible for easy rolling; whole wheat for a healthier option.
- 2 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts About 1 pound total, seasoned and grilled or pan-seared.
- 2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped Crisp and refreshing.
- 1 cup Caesar dressing Classic creamy dressing; use light or homemade for a fresher taste.
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese Nutty and salty; nutritional yeast works as a dairy-free substitute.
- 1 cup croutons, lightly crushed Add crunch; swap for toasted breadcrumbs for a less-salty bite.
- 1 tablespoon olive oil For cooking.
- Salt and pepper To taste.
Optional Ingredients
- lemon wedges For squeezing.
- anchovy paste For authentic depth.
- sliced cherry tomatoes For color.
Instructions
Prepare the Chicken
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and a little olive oil.
- Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and cook for about 6–8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
Toss the Greens
- In a large bowl, combine chopped romaine, Caesar dressing, and grated Parmesan. Toss until every leaf is lightly coated.
Add Crunch
- Gently fold in crushed croutons so they stay crisp but mingle with the dressing.
Warm the Tortillas
- Briefly warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 10 seconds to make them pliable.
Assemble the Wrap
- Lay a tortilla flat, add a generous scoop of Caesar-dressed romaine, arrange sliced chicken on top, and finish with an extra sprinkle of Parmesan and a light squeeze of lemon if using.
Roll Tight
- Fold the sides in and roll from the bottom to form a snug wrap.
- For extra security, wrap in parchment paper and slice in half on a diagonal.
Serve
- Serve immediately for the best texture: crisp lettuce and croutons with warm chicken are a delightful contrast.
