Ingredients
For the Chicken:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 12 oz)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
For the Wrap:
- 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
- 2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1/2 cup Caesar dressing
- 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, shaved or grated
- Optional: Croutons for extra crunch
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil and season with garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Slice the chicken: After resting, thinly slice the grilled chicken breasts into strips or bite-sized pieces for easy wrapping.
- Assemble the wrap: Lay a flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread approximately 2 tablespoons of Caesar dressing evenly over the center. Add a handful of chopped romaine lettuce, then top with sliced chicken and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. Add croutons if using for extra texture.
- Roll the wrap: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll tightly from the bottom to form a secure wrap. Repeat with remaining tortillas and ingredients.
- Serve: Cut the wraps in half diagonally and serve immediately, or wrap tightly in foil to take on the go.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute the flour tortillas with whole wheat or low-carb wraps.
- Use a low-fat Caesar dressing to reduce calories and fat content.
- Grilled chicken can be substituted with rotisserie chicken for quicker preparation.
- Add sliced avocado or tomatoes for extra flavor and nutrition.
- To keep the wrap from getting soggy, add the Caesar dressing just before eating.
