Caesar Chicken Salad Wrap (Print version)

Juicy grilled chicken with crisp romaine, parmesan, and creamy Caesar dressing wrapped in a soft tortilla.

# What You'll Need:

→ Chicken

01 - 2 medium boneless, skinless chicken breasts
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
04 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
05 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

→ Caesar Salad

06 - 6 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
07 - 1/2 cup Caesar dressing
08 - 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
09 - 1 cup croutons

→ Assembly

10 - 4 large flour tortillas, 10-inch diameter
11 - Freshly ground black pepper to taste

# Directions:

01 - Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Brush chicken breasts with olive oil and season evenly with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
02 - Grill chicken for 5 to 7 minutes per side until fully cooked and juices run clear. Remove from heat and allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.
03 - In a large mixing bowl, combine chopped romaine lettuce, Caesar dressing, parmesan cheese, and croutons. Toss until evenly coated.
04 - Lay out tortillas and divide Caesar salad mixture evenly among them, placing in the center of each. Top with sliced grilled chicken.
05 - Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll up tightly to form a wrap. Slice in half if desired and serve immediately.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It feels like a restaurant lunch but comes together in your own kitchen in under half an hour.
  • The crunch of romaine and croutons against tender chicken makes every bite satisfying.
  • You can prep the chicken ahead and assemble wraps all week without any sogginess.
  • It's easy to customize with bacon, tomatoes, or swap the protein entirely.
02 -
  • Letting the chicken rest after grilling is non-negotiable; cutting it right away releases all the juices onto your cutting board instead of keeping them inside.
  • Don't overdress the salad or the tortilla will get soggy by the time you're halfway through eating it.
  • If you're packing these for later, keep the dressing separate and toss everything together right before wrapping.
03 -
  • Use a grill pan with ridges if you don't have an outdoor grill; the char marks add flavor and make the chicken look more appealing.
  • Grate your own parmesan instead of using the pre-grated stuff; it melts into the dressing better and tastes sharper.
  • If you're feeding a crowd, set up a wrap station and let everyone build their own so they can adjust the fillings to their liking.
