Fresh wrap featuring grilled chicken, romaine, parmesan, and creamy Caesar dressing in a soft tortilla. Easy 30-minute meal.

# 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 Make:

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. Slice wraps in half if desired and serve immediately.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It feels like youre cheating because its so fast but tastes like you tried way harder than you did.
  • You can eat it with one hand while doing basically anything else, which is oddly freeing.
  • The crunch from the croutons inside the wrap is unexpectedly satisfying and keeps things interesting.
  • Leftovers actually hold up if you pack the dressing separately, so lunch tomorrow is already done.
02 -
  • Letting the chicken rest after grilling is not optional, I learned this the hard way when all my chicken juice soaked the tortilla and made it soggy.
  • If you dress the salad too far in advance, the croutons turn into weird soft cubes, so toss everything right before assembling.
  • Warm your tortillas for 10 seconds in the microwave to make them more pliable and way easier to fold without cracking.
03 -
  • Grill an extra chicken breast and keep it in the fridge, it turns any salad into an actual meal for the next two days.
  • If your croutons are stale, toss them in a hot pan with a little olive oil for a minute, they come back to life and taste even better.
  • Dont skip the resting time for the chicken, those five minutes are the difference between juicy slices and dry disappointing ones.
