Ingredients
For the Grilled Chicken
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
For the Wraps
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
- ½ cup Caesar dressing
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup croutons slightly crushed
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Optional: crispy bacon avocado slices, cherry tomatoes
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Drizzle with olive oil and season both sides with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Allow the chicken to sit for about 10 minutes so the flavors absorb into the meat.
- Grill the Chicken Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 5–6 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from the grill and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This keeps the meat juicy and tender.
- Prepare the Caesar Filling In a large bowl, combine chopped romaine lettuce, Caesar dressing, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, and crushed croutons. Toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
- Warm the Tortillas Warm the tortillas slightly in a skillet or microwave for easier rolling. This prevents cracking and helps the wraps stay sealed.
- Assemble the Wraps Lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface. Add a generous portion of Caesar salad mixture to the center. Top with sliced grilled chicken and any optional toppings like bacon or avocado.
- Wrap and Serve Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll tightly from the bottom upward to form a wrap. Slice in half if desired and serve immediately.
