Juicy grilled chicken, crisp romaine, parmesan, and Caesar dressing wrapped in a soft tortilla for a perfect handheld meal.

# What You'll Need:

→ 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

# Method 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 5-7 minutes per side 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 tortillas. Divide Caesar salad mixture evenly among tortillas, placing in 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 Advice:

01 -
  • It takes all the best parts of a restaurant Caesar salad and makes it completely portable without losing any of that creamy, tangy magic.
  • The grilled chicken stays juicy and flavorful with just a few basic seasonings, no fancy marinades required.
  • You can prep everything ahead and assemble these in under five minutes when hunger strikes.
  • It feels way more special than a regular sandwich but requires zero complicated techniques.
02 -
  • If you overfill the tortilla, it will absolutely split open the second you try to roll it, so resist the urge to pile on extra salad no matter how tempting.
  • Resting the chicken after grilling is non-negotiable, cutting into it too soon turns a juicy piece of meat into a dry disappointment.
  • Toss the croutons in at the very last second before assembling if you want them to stay crunchy, otherwise they'll soften in the dressing.
03 -
  • Grill an extra chicken breast and keep it in the fridge, it turns these wraps into a five-minute lunch option all week long.
  • If you're making your own Caesar dressing, add a little extra garlic and lemon, it makes the whole wrap taste brighter and more alive.
  • Don't skip the fresh parmesan, the pre-grated stuff doesn't melt into the dressing the same way and you lose that rich, nutty flavor.
