Ingredients
  

  • 2 large chicken breasts cooked and sliced
  • 1 cup romaine lettuce chopped
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 1/4 cup Caesar dressing
  • 4 whole wheat tortillas
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Turkey bacon cooked and crumbled (optional)

Equipment

  • Cutting board and sharp knife
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Large skillet or grill pan
  • Grater
  • Measuring spoons and cups
  • Spatula or tongs

Method
 

  1. Start by seasoning your chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and black pepper. Heat a skillet over medium heat with a little oil, then cook the chicken for about 6-8 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly.
  2. While the chicken cooks, chop the romaine lettuce and halve the cherry tomatoes. Grate fresh Parmesan cheese for that authentic Caesar flavor.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the sliced chicken, chopped romaine, cherry tomatoes, grated Parmesan, and Caesar dressing. Toss everything gently until well coated. If desired, sprinkle in some cooked turkey bacon crumbles at this stage.
  4. Warm your whole wheat tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or microwave to make them pliable. Lay each tortilla flat and spoon an even amount of the chicken Caesar mixture down the center. Fold the sides in and roll tightly, making sure the filling stays inside.
  5. If you love a crispy exterior, place the wraps seam-side down on the skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and slightly crunchy.
  6. Slice the wraps in half diagonally and serve immediately for the best texture. These wraps also travel well if you need a packed lunch or a quick dinner option.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, crisp the wraps in a skillet after assembling.
  • Keep dressing separate if packing for later to avoid sogginess.
  • Substitute chicken with turkey, shrimp, or crispy chicken tenders for variety.
  • Store wraps wrapped tightly in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for best flavor impact.
