Recipe Tips and Tricks

• Warm the tortillas slightly before wrapping so they fold easily without tearing.
• Spread the Caesar dressing on the tortilla first to create a moisture barrier and prevent sogginess.
• Use freshly shaved Parmesan for the best nutty flavor and texture.
• Add croutons right before wrapping so they stay crunchy.
• For a lighter version, use Greek yogurt-based Caesar dressing.

Juicy grilled chicken, crisp romaine, Caesar dressing & Parmesan in a soft tortilla—classic Caesar flavor!

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 10 minutes

Total Time 25 minutes

Ingredients

• ½ cup Caesar dressing (homemade or store-bought)
• ½ cup freshly grated or shaved Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup croutons (lightly crushed)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb total)
• 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
• 4 large flour tortillas (burrito-size)
• Optional: lemon wedges for serving
• Salt & black pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Season the chicken! Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning—let them sit for 10 minutes while you prep the rest.
2. Cook the chicken! Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken 5–6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through (internal temp 165°F/74°C).
3. Rest and slice! Remove chicken from heat, let it rest 5 minutes, then slice into thin strips—this keeps it juicy!
4. Warm the tortillas! Place each tortilla in the microwave for 10–15 seconds or warm in a dry skillet—this makes them soft and easy to wrap.
5. Spread the dressing! Lay a tortilla flat and spread 2 tablespoons of Caesar dressing evenly across the center, leaving a border around the edges.
6. Add the lettuce! Place a generous handful of chopped romaine lettuce right in the center—this creates a cool, crisp base.
7. Layer the chicken! Arrange the sliced grilled chicken strips evenly over the lettuce.
8. Cheese and crunch! Sprinkle a generous amount of shaved Parmesan and scatter the lightly crushed croutons on top for that classic Caesar texture.
9. Wrap it up! Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll tightly from the bottom up, tucking in the filling as you go—roll it snugly!
10. Slice and serve! Cut the wrap in half diagonally for beautiful presentation, serve immediately with lemon wedges if desired, and enjoy every creamy, garlicky, delicious bite!

Notes

• This wrap is naturally high in protein and can be made lighter with low-fat dressing.
• For extra flavor, grill the assembled wrap lightly in a skillet for 1–2 minutes per side.
• Perfect for meal prep: Cook chicken ahead and assemble fresh each day.

Ingredients Notes

• Chicken breast: Lean, high-protein base—grilled or pan-seared for maximum flavor and tenderness.
• Romaine lettuce: Crisp and sturdy—provides the classic Caesar crunch and freshness.
• Caesar dressing: Creamy, tangy, and garlicky—homemade or high-quality store-bought works great.
• Parmesan cheese: Freshly shaved or grated for bold, nutty flavor and authentic Caesar taste.
• Croutons: Add essential crunch—use homemade or store-bought, broken into smaller pieces for easier wrapping.
• Flour tortillas: Soft and flexible—choose large burrito-size for hearty wraps.

Variations and Substitutions

• Healthier version: Use whole-wheat or low-carb tortillas and light Caesar dressing.
• Spicy Caesar Wrap: Add sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the dressing.
• Vegetarian version: Swap chicken for grilled portobello mushrooms or crispy chickpeas.
• Gluten-free: Use gluten-free tortillas and gluten-free croutons.
• Extra veggies: Add cherry tomatoes, shredded carrots, or avocado for more nutrients.
• Different protein: Try grilled shrimp, turkey, or rotisserie chicken.
• Vegan Caesar: Use vegan Caesar dressing and plant-based “chicken” or tofu.

Storage Options

Best enjoyed fresh while the tortilla is soft and lettuce is crisp. If needed, wrap tightly in foil or parchment and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours. For longer storage, keep components separate (chicken, lettuce, dressing) in airtight containers for up to 2 days. Assemble just before eating to prevent soggy tortillas.
