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 and cool the grilled chicken breasts completely. Slice them into even strips to ensure easy wrapping and balanced flavor in each bite.
- Prepare the Vegetables: Wash and thoroughly dry the fresh romaine lettuce leaves to avoid soggy wraps and ensure crisp texture.
- Lay Out Tortillas: Place each large flour tortilla flat on a clean surface to prepare for assembling the wrap.
- Apply Dressing: Spread a thin layer of Caesar dressing in the center of each tortilla, which serves as the base sauce and adds moisture and flavor.
- Add Lettuce and Chicken: Place dry romaine leaves over the dressing, then align the sliced chicken breasts in a line down the middle of the tortilla.
- Season and Add Cheese: Sprinkle garlic powder, black pepper, and grated parmesan cheese evenly over the chicken and lettuce to enhance flavor.
- Add Optional Toppings: If desired, add croutons for crunch, halved cherry tomatoes for freshness, and bacon bits for a smoky touch.
- Wrap the Tortillas: Fold the bottom edge of the tortilla up over the filling, then fold in both sides tightly. Roll firmly from bottom to top to form a secure wrap. Use plastic wrap or toothpicks to hold the wrap together if needed.
- Refrigerate: Refrigerate the prepared wraps until serving to allow flavors to meld and maintain freshness. Let them rest for about 10 minutes before cutting.
- Serve: Using a sharp knife, cut each wrap diagonally. Wrap individually for storage or serve immediately.
Notes
- Ensure the chicken is fully cooled before assembling to prevent soggy tortillas.
- Dry the lettuce thoroughly to maintain crispness inside the wrap.
- The optional lemon juice adds a nice brightness but can be omitted based on preference.
- Use plastic wrap or toothpicks to keep wraps secure during storage or transport.
- These wraps are great for meal prep and can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
