Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Season the chicken breasts evenly with salt and pepper.
- Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Slice the grilled chicken into thin strips. This will ensure each bite of wrap has a balanced ratio of chicken, lettuce, and dressing.
- Spread about 2 tablespoons of Caesar dressing evenly on each flour tortilla. Adjust the amount based on personal preference.
- Place a handful (about 1/2 cup) of shredded romaine lettuce on each tortilla.
- Top the lettuce with the sliced grilled chicken.
- Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese over the chicken on each tortilla.
- Roll up the tortillas tightly, tucking in the sides as you go. This will help keep the wrap secure while eating.
- Slice the wraps in half diagonally and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious, portable Caesar salad.
Tips
- For a healthier option, you can use whole wheat tortillas instead of flour tortillas.
- If you enjoy a bit of heat, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the chicken before grilling.
- You can also add other veggies like sliced tomatoes or cucumbers for added freshness.
- For a homemade Caesar dressing, mix 3/4 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 garlic clove minced, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
