Ingredients
  

  • 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts about 1.5 lbs
  • 3 cups chopped romaine lettuce
  • 1/2 cup Caesar dressing
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup croutons
  • 4 large tortillas flour or whole wheat

Method
 

  1. Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then cook for 6-7 minutes per side until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Let the chicken rest before chopping.
  2. Wash and chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces while the chicken cools.
  3. Combine the chopped chicken, romaine lettuce, and Caesar dressing in a large bowl and toss thoroughly.
  4. Gently fold in the croutons and Parmesan cheese.
  5. Place the filling onto each tortilla and roll tightly from the bottom, folding in the sides to secure the ingredients.
  6. Slice the wraps in half at an angle for presentation.

Notes

Protein Choice: If I am in a hurry, I often grab a rotisserie chicken from the store and shred it instead of grilling breasts from scratch.

Meal Prep Advice: When I make these for my lunch the next day, I keep the dressing in a separate small container and toss it with the filling right before I eat to keep the lettuce and croutons perfectly crisp.
Flavor Boost: I love adding a generous squeeze of
