Ingredients you’ll need

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
• 1/2 cup Caesar dressing
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup croutons, crushed
• Freshly cracked black pepper for garnish

How to make it step by step

Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. While it heats, mix olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.

Brush this mixture evenly on both sides of the chicken breasts. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, ensuring it’s fully cooked and juices run clear.

After grilling, let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into strips. In a large bowl, combine romaine lettuce, Caesar dressing, Parmesan cheese, and crushed croutons, tossing until evenly coated.

Lay a tortilla flat, placing a portion of the salad mixture in the center, followed by several chicken strips. Fold in the sides and roll it tightly from the bottom to the top to form a wrap.

Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas, slice each wrap in half diagonally, and garnish with freshly cracked black pepper before serving.

Expert tips for perfect wraps

• Let the chicken rest before slicing to retain its juices and ensure tender pieces.
• Warm the tortillas slightly to make them more pliable and easier to roll.
• For added freshness, use homemade Caesar dressing if time allows.

What to serve alongside

• A side of sweet potato fries pairs beautifully with the savory flavors of the wrap.
• A simple fruit salad adds a refreshing contrast to the creamy dressing.
• Pair with iced tea or lemonade for a light and refreshing beverage option.

Storage and leftovers

Store leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. To prevent sogginess, keep the salad mixture and chicken separate from the tortillas until ready to serve.

Reheat the chicken strips in a skillet or microwave, then assemble fresh wraps for best results.
