Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Marinade
- 2 pieces Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts (Approximately 1 pound total)
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil (For grilling the chicken)
- Salt (to taste)
- Black Pepper (freshly cracked, to taste)
Wrap Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Caesar Dressing (Your favorite Caesar dressing)
- 2 cups Romaine Lettuce (Chopped)
- 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese (Grated)
- 4 large Tortillas (Flour or whole wheat)
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a medium bowl, combine the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes to infuse flavors.
- Prepare Ingredients: While the chicken is marinating, chop the romaine lettuce finely, grate the Parmesan cheese, and have the Caesar dressing ready for assembling the wrap.
- Grill the Chicken: Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the marinated chicken breasts on the pan and sear for 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked through.
- Rest and Slice Chicken: Remove the chicken from heat and allow it to rest for a few minutes. Then, slice it into thin strips for easy wrapping.
- Assemble the Wrap: Take a tortilla and spread about 2 tablespoons of Caesar dressing evenly over it. Layer with chopped romaine lettuce, sliced grilled chicken, and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
- Roll the Wrap: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward and roll tightly from the bottom upwards. Use a toothpick to secure if needed to keep the wrap intact.
- Optional Toasting: Repeat for all tortillas. For a warm, crispy finish, toast each wrap in a skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Serve: Slice each wrap diagonally in half and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Marinating the chicken enhances the flavor but can be done ahead of time for convenience.
- Use whole wheat tortillas for a healthier option.
- To make the wraps vegetarian, substitute the chicken with grilled tofu or chickpeas.
- Adjust the amount of Caesar dressing according to personal preference.
- To avoid sogginess, optionally toast the wraps before serving.
