Ingredients
Scale
Base Wrap
- 4 Large Flour Tortillas
Filling
- 2 cups Fresh Romaine Lettuce, washed and dried
- 2 Grilled Chicken Breasts, sliced
- ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Fresh Lemon Juice (optional)
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese, grated
- 4 tablespoons Caesar Dressing
- ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper, to taste
Optional Toppings
- ½ cup Croutons
- ½ cup Cherry Tomatoes, halved
- ¼ cup Bacon Bits
Instructions
- Prepare Chicken: Cook the chicken breasts on a grill or stovetop until fully cooked, then let them cool completely before slicing.
- Prepare Lettuce: Wash and dry the romaine lettuce thoroughly to ensure crispness without sogginess.
- Lay Out Tortillas: Spread the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface for assembly.
- Spread Dressing: Apply a thin layer of Caesar dressing in the center of each tortilla to serve as the base flavor enhancer.
- Add Lettuce and Chicken: Place the dry romaine leaves evenly over the dressing. Then add sliced grilled chicken in a line down the middle of each tortilla.
- Season and Add Cheese: Sprinkle garlic powder, black pepper, and grated Parmesan cheese over the chicken and lettuce.
- Add Optional Toppings: If desired, add croutons, halved cherry tomatoes, and bacon bits for extra texture and flavor.
- Wrap the Tortilla: Fold the bottom edge of the tortilla up over the filling, then fold both sides inward tightly. Roll firmly from the bottom to the top to form a secure wrap.
- Secure and Chill: Secure wraps with plastic wrap or toothpicks and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Rest and Cut: Let the wraps rest for 10 minutes before cutting them diagonally for presentation and easier eating.
- Serve or Store: Wrap individually for storage or serve immediately.
Notes
- Ensure chicken is completely cooled before assembling to prevent soggy tortillas.
- Optional lemon juice brightens flavors but can be omitted if preferred.
- You can substitute grilled chicken breasts with rotisserie chicken for convenience.
- Store the wraps wrapped tightly in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
- To keep croutons crunchy, add them just before serving if making ahead.
- For a low-carb option, substitute flour tortillas with low-carb or whole wheat tortillas.
