Ingredients
Scale
Wrap Base
- 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
Optional Toppings
- ½ cup Croutons
- ½ cup Cherry Tomatoes, halved
- ¼ cup Bacon Bits
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Cook the chicken breasts thoroughly on a grill or stovetop, ensuring they are fully cooked and nicely browned. Allow the chicken to cool completely before slicing to prevent moisture buildup inside the wrap.
- Prepare lettuce and ingredients: Wash and dry the romaine lettuce leaves thoroughly. This step is crucial to avoid soggy wraps. Gather all other ingredients and lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface for assembly.
- Assemble the wrap: Spread a thin layer of Caesar dressing in the center of each tortilla to serve as the base sauce. Layer dry romaine leaves on top, then place the sliced grilled chicken breast in a line down the center. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly and add optional toppings like croutons, cherry tomatoes, and bacon bits as desired. Season with garlic powder, fresh lemon juice if using, and black pepper to taste.
- Wrap it up: Fold the bottom edge of the tortilla up over the filling, then fold in both sides tightly. Carefully roll the tortilla firmly from bottom to top to enclose the filling completely. Secure each wrap with plastic wrap or a toothpick to hold its shape.
- Chill before serving: Place wrapped wraps in the refrigerator until serving to allow flavors to meld together. Let them rest for about 10 minutes before cutting for cleaner slices.
- Serve: Using a sharp knife, cut the wraps diagonally into halves or thirds depending on preference. Wrap individually for storage or immediate serving. Enjoy your refreshing and flavorful Chicken Caesar Wraps!
