- 🥗 Lighter than a sandwich but just as satisfying
- 🔁 Great for leftovers or meal prep
- 🌯 Customizable with bacon, avocado, or spicy Caesar
- 🧊 Tastes great cold or warm
Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
- ¼ cup Caesar dressing (homemade or store-bought)
- ¼ cup shredded or shaved Parmesan cheese
- 2 large flour tortillas (burrito size)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- Optional: croutons (crushed), avocado, bacon bits, cherry tomatoes
Instructions
- Cook the Chicken
Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook chicken for 5–6 minutes per side, or until golden and cooked through. Let rest, then slice thinly. - Warm the Tortillas
Heat tortillas in a dry pan for 15–20 seconds per side, or microwave under a damp paper towel for 20 seconds to make them more flexible. - Assemble the Wrap
In a mixing bowl, toss chopped romaine with Caesar dressing and Parmesan. Add sliced chicken and gently combine. Add croutons or extras, if using. - Wrap It Up
Divide the filling between the tortillas. Fold in the sides and roll tightly into a wrap. Slice in half and serve immediately — or wrap in foil for later.
