Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 3 breasts)
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 2 tsp olive oil
Salad & Dressing
- 4 cups fresh romaine lettuce, chopped
- ½ cup Caesar dressing
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Wraps
- 4 flour tortillas (10-inch)
Instructions
- Season and cook the chicken: Season the chicken breasts evenly with salt and pepper. Heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken in the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
- Prepare the lettuce: While the chicken rests, chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces to ensure easy wrapping and a nice texture in the wrap.
- Combine ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the sliced chicken, chopped romaine lettuce, and Caesar dressing until all ingredients are well coated and evenly combined.
- Assemble the wraps: Lay out the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Evenly distribute the chicken and lettuce mixture among the tortillas. Sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese on top of each portion for added flavor.
- Roll the wraps: Tightly roll each tortilla around the filling, making sure to tuck in one end to prevent the filling from spilling out.
- Serve: Cut each wrap diagonally in half for easy handling and serve immediately to enjoy fresh and crisp flavors.
Notes
- You can use grilled chicken as an alternative for a smoky flavor.
- For a lighter option, substitute Caesar dressing with a low-fat version or Greek yogurt-based dressing.
- These wraps can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, but wrap them tightly to avoid tortillas becoming soggy.
- Add sliced avocado or cherry tomatoes for extra freshness and nutrients.
- To make this gluten-free, substitute flour tortillas with gluten-free wraps or large lettuce leaves.
