Ingredients

Main Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless chicken breast, thinly sliced into strips
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 4 whole romaine lettuce leaves
• 1/3 cup shaved parmesan curls
• 3 tbsp Caesar dressing

Seasonings

• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1. Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium‑high heat (about 400°F).
2. 2. Toss chicken strips with garlic powder, salt, and pepper, then grill 3‑4 minutes per side until opaque and lightly charred.
3. 3. Remove chicken and let rest 2 minutes; slice thinly if needed.
4. 4. Warm tortillas on the grill for 15 seconds per side until pliable.
5. 5. Spread 3/4 tbsp Caesar dressing onto each tortilla, then layer a romaine leaf, grilled chicken, and parmesan curls.
6. 6. Fold the bottom up, then roll tightly; slice diagonally if desired and serve immediately.

Tips for Success

• Pat chicken dry before seasoning to achieve a better sear.
• Do not overcook; chicken should reach 165°F and remain juicy.
• Use whole romaine leaves for crunch; shredding loses texture.
• Warm tortillas just enough to soften; over‑heating makes them brittle.
• Add dressing sparingly; excess can make the wrap soggy.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; keep dressing separate to avoid soggy wraps. Reheat chicken briefly in a skillet; tortillas can be warmed in a microwave for 15 seconds before assembling.

Notes

Pat the chicken dry for a better sear and keep dressing separate until assembly to avoid soggy wraps.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of lettuce?

Romaine provides the classic crunch and flavor; other lettuces become soggy faster. If you must substitute, use crisp iceberg or butter lettuce.

How do I keep the wraps from getting soggy?

Apply dressing only to the tortilla surface, not directly on the lettuce, and assemble just before serving. Keep the dressing in a separate bowl until needed.

Can I make these wraps ahead of time?

Yes, prepare grilled chicken and store it separately. Assemble wraps no more than an hour before eating to maintain texture.
