Ingredients

• 2 large flour tortillas (or whole wheat for a healthier option)

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 1 cup Romaine lettuce, chopped

• 1/4 cup Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)

• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 1/4 cup croutons (optional, for added crunch)

• Fresh lemon wedges for serving (optional)

Preparation Steps

1. Grill the Chicken

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil and season with salt and pepper on both sides. Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

2. Prepare the Caesar Salad

While the chicken is grilling, chop the Romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces. In a large mixing bowl, toss the lettuce with Caesar dressing, grated Parmesan cheese, and croutons (if using).

3. Assemble the Wraps

Place the tortillas on a flat surface. Evenly distribute the Caesar salad mixture onto each tortilla. Top with the grilled chicken slices.

4. Wrap It Up

Fold the sides of the tortilla inward and then roll it up tightly to enclose the filling. Cut the wraps in half for easy serving.

5. Serve

Serve the Grilled Chicken Caesar Wraps immediately with fresh lemon wedges on the side for a burst of brightness.

Expert Tips
