Ingredients
Scale
Wrap Base
- 4 Large Flour Tortillas
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh Romaine Lettuce, washed & dried well
- 2 Grilled Chicken Breasts, sliced
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese, grated
- 4 tablespoon Caesar Dressing
Seasoning
- ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
- ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon Fresh Lemon Juice (optional, brightens flavor)
Optional Toppings
- ½ cup Croutons
- ½ cup Cherry Tomatoes, halved
- ¼ cup Bacon Bits
Instructions
- Prepare Chicken: Cook the chicken breasts thoroughly until fully cooked, then allow them to cool completely. Slice them into thin strips for easy wrapping.
- Prep Lettuce: Wash and dry the romaine lettuce thoroughly to avoid soggy wraps and ensure freshness.
- Lay Out Tortillas: Place the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface, ready for assembly.
- Spread Dressing: Spread a thin layer of Caesar dressing in the center of each tortilla, providing the base flavor for the wrap.
- Add Lettuce: Place dry romaine leaves evenly over the dressing, creating a crisp layer.
- Add Chicken & Cheese: Arrange the sliced grilled chicken down the middle of the tortilla. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the chicken.
- Add Optional Toppings: If desired, add croutons for crunch, halved cherry tomatoes for freshness, and bacon bits for a smoky flavor.
- Season: Sprinkle garlic powder, black pepper, and optionally lemon juice over the ingredients to enhance the taste.
- Wrap It Up: Fold the bottom edge of the tortilla up over the filling. Fold in both sides tightly, then roll firmly from bottom to top to create a secure wrap.
- Secure Wrap: Use plastic wrap or a toothpick to secure each wrap. This keeps the filling intact and makes it easy to handle.
- Chill and Rest: Refrigerate the wraps until serving time. Before cutting, let them rest at room temperature for about 10 minutes to make slicing easier.
- Serve: Cut the wraps diagonally with a sharp knife for a visually appealing presentation. Wrap individually for storage or serving.
Notes
- Ensure chicken is fully cooled before assembling to prevent sogginess.
- Use dry lettuce to keep wraps crisp and fresh.
- Customize wraps by adding or omitting optional ingredients based on preference.
- Chilling wraps helps meld flavors and makes slicing cleaner.
