A fast, flavorful wrap combining smoky grilled chicken, crisp Romaine lettuce, and creamy Caesar dressing wrapped in a warm tortilla. Perfect for a quick lunch or light dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces grilled chicken strips, store-bought or homemade, sliced
  • 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch), soft and pliable (whole wheat or gluten-free wraps can be used)
  • 2 cups Romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 1/3 cup Caesar dressing (about 80 ml)
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (about 25 g)
  • 1/2 cup croutons, crushed lightly (optional)
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (15 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (5 ml)

Instructions

  1. If using raw chicken, season 8 ounces with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken strips for 4-5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F/74°C). Remove and set aside.
  2. Wash and chop 2 cups Romaine lettuce. Dry thoroughly to avoid sogginess.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine chopped Romaine, 1/3 cup Caesar dressing, and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese. Toss gently to coat evenly. Add 1 teaspoon lemon juice if desired.
  4. Warm tortillas in a dry skillet for about 20 seconds per side until slightly golden and pliable.
  5. Lay each warmed tortilla flat. Spoon a generous amount of the Caesar salad mixture onto the center, then add warm grilled chicken strips on top. Sprinkle lightly crushed croutons over the chicken.
  6. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll tightly from one end to the other. Use a toothpick if needed to hold the wrap together.
  7. Slice each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately. Optionally, add extra Parmesan and black pepper on top.

Notes

Use pre-cooked grilled chicken strips to save time. Dry lettuce well to prevent soggy wraps. Add croutons just before wrapping to maintain crunch. Warm tortillas gently to avoid cracking. For gluten-free, substitute tortillas with gluten-free wraps or large lettuce leaves. For a lighter dressing, substitute Caesar with Greek yogurt mixed with lemon juice.
