Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 4 Large Flour Tortillas
Salad and Protein
- 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
Optional Toppings
- ½ cup Croutons
- ½ cup Cherry Tomatoes, halved
- ¼ cup Bacon Bits
Dressing and Seasoning
- 4 tablespoons Caesar Dressing
- ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper
Instructions
- Prepare Chicken: Cook and cool the grilled chicken breasts completely, then slice them thinly to ensure easy wrapping and balanced flavor distribution.
- Prepare Lettuce: Wash and dry the romaine lettuce thoroughly to remove excess moisture, which helps keep the wrap crisp and prevents sogginess.
- Assemble Tortilla: Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of Caesar dressing down the center of each tortilla to create a flavorful base.
- Add Fillings: Place a layer of dry romaine leaves over the dressing. Line the sliced chicken over the lettuce, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese, and add optional toppings such as croutons, cherry tomatoes, and bacon bits to your preference.
- Season: Sprinkle garlic powder and black pepper evenly to enhance the flavor. Optionally, drizzle fresh lemon juice for brightness.
- Wrap Up: Fold the bottom edge of the tortilla up over the filling, then fold in the sides tightly. Roll firmly from bottom to top to secure all the ingredients inside. Use plastic wrap or a toothpick to hold the wrap together if needed.
- Chill: Refrigerate the wraps until ready to serve. Let the wraps rest for about 10 minutes before cutting to allow the flavors to meld and the wrap to set.
- Serve: Using a sharp knife, cut the wraps diagonally for an appealing presentation. Wrap individually if storing or serving later.
Notes
- Make sure the chicken is completely cooled before assembling to prevent the tortillas from becoming soggy.
- Dry lettuce thoroughly to maintain crispness in the wrap.
- Customize with optional toppings like croutons, cherry tomatoes, or bacon bits for extra texture and flavor.
- If not serving immediately, wrap each wrap tightly in plastic wrap for freshness.
- This recipe can be made ahead and kept in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
