Ingredients
-
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
-
4 whole wheat or flour tortillas
-
2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
-
1/2 cup Caesar dressing
-
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
-
1/2 cup croutons (optional)
-
Salt and pepper to taste
-
Olive oil for cooking
Instructions
-
Cook the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes on each side until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove from heat, let rest for a few minutes, and then slice into strips.
-
Prepare the Salad: While the chicken rests, chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces. In a large mixing bowl, toss the lettuce with Caesar dressing. Add croutons for extra crunch if desired.
-
Assemble the Wraps: Once the chicken is sliced, add it to the lettuce mixture and toss to combine. Lay the tortillas flat, divide the chicken Caesar mixture evenly between them, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
-
Wrap and Serve: Fold in the sides of the tortillas, then roll them tightly into wraps. Cut in half and serve immediately.
Notes
-
You can substitute store-bought rotisserie chicken for fresh chicken breasts to save time.
-
For a gluten-free version, swap out regular tortillas for gluten-free wraps.
-
To make the wraps vegetarian, replace the chicken with grilled tofu or chickpeas.
-
You can add extra veggies like cucumbers or tomatoes for more texture.
