Caesar Chicken Salad Wrap (Printer-friendly)

Fresh wrap with grilled chicken, romaine lettuce, parmesan, and creamy Caesar dressing in a soft flour tortilla.

# Ingredient List:

→ Chicken

01 - 2 medium boneless, skinless chicken breasts
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
04 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
05 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

→ Caesar Salad

06 - 6 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
07 - 1/2 cup Caesar dressing
08 - 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
09 - 1 cup croutons

→ Assembly

10 - 4 large flour tortillas, 10-inch
11 - Freshly ground black pepper to taste

# How-To Steps:

01 - Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Brush chicken breasts with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
02 - Grill chicken for 5 to 7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
03 - In a large bowl, combine chopped romaine, Caesar dressing, parmesan cheese, and croutons. Toss until evenly coated.
04 - Lay out the tortillas. Divide the Caesar salad mixture evenly among the tortillas, placing it in the center of each. Top with sliced grilled chicken.
05 - Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll up tightly to form a wrap.
06 - Slice wraps in half, if desired. Serve immediately.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • Everything comes together in under half an hour, even if you're moving slowly and sipping iced tea between steps.
  • The crunch of romaine and croutons against tender grilled chicken makes every bite feel balanced and intentional.
  • You can prep the chicken ahead and keep it in the fridge, so assembly becomes a five-minute affair when hunger strikes.
02 -
  • Don't overdress the salad or the tortilla will get soggy before you finish rolling, a light coating is better than a puddle.
  • Resting the chicken after grilling isn't optional, cutting into it too soon releases all the moisture and you'll end up with dry slices.
03 -
  • Grate your own parmesan from a block instead of using pre-grated, it melts better and tastes sharper.
  • Toast your tortillas lightly on the grill for 30 seconds before filling them, it adds a faint char and keeps them from getting limp.
