Quick Facts

• Yield: Serves 2
• Prep Time: 10 minutes
• Cook Time: 12 minutes
• Total Time: 22 minutes

Ingredients

For the Main Dish:

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 ounces each)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning or oregano
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 2 large flour tortillas (10-inch works great)
• 2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
• ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
• ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved (optional for a fresh twist)

For the Sauce / Garnish:

• ½ cup Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)
• Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
• Optional: croutons, crushed lightly for extra crunch

How I Make It

Step 1:

Start by prepping the chicken breasts. Pat them dry and rub with olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. This simple seasoning highlights the smoky char from grilling, which is pure magic in a wrap.

Step 2:

Heat your grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high. Cook the chicken about 6 minutes per side until nicely charred and the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing; this keeps the meat juicy and tender.

Step 3:

While the chicken rests, wash and chop the romaine, halve the cherry tomatoes if using, and shred the Parmesan cheese. If you want an extra crunch, crush a few croutons now.

Step 4:

Warm the tortillas briefly on the grill or in a dry skillet until pliable and slightly toasted. This step keeps the tortillas from cracking when you roll the wrap.

Step 5:

Spread a generous layer of Caesar dressing over each tortilla, then layer on the lettuce, tomatoes, sliced grilled chicken, Parmesan, and a sprinkle of freshly cracked black pepper.

Step 6:

Roll the wraps tightly, folding in the edges as you go. If needed, secure with toothpicks. Cut in half diagonally, and you’re ready to dig in!

Variations & Tips

• Swap romaine for baby spinach or mixed greens for a different texture.
• Use grilled shrimp or steak instead of chicken for a seafood or red meat twist.
• Make your own Caesar dressing using anchovies and fresh lemon juice for a truly authentic flavor.
• Add a few slices of avocado for creaminess and extra richness.
• If you don’t have a grill, cook chicken in a hot skillet — just get a nice brown crust on each side.
• For a low-carb option, wrap in large lettuce leaves instead of tortillas.

How I Like to Serve It

This wrap is fantastic for quick lunches or a light dinner paired with a side of kettle-cooked chips or a crisp pickle. For summer gatherings, slice the wraps into bite-size pinwheels—perfect for snack-sized bites that everyone can grab at a picnic or backyard BBQ. And on busy workdays, it travels well for an easy, mess-free meal to enjoy anywhere.

Notes

• Store leftovers wrapped tightly in foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
• Reheat by warming in a skillet or microwave just until heated through—avoid overcooking to keep chicken tender.

Closing: This Grilled Chicken Caesar Wrap always hits the spot because it’s quick, flavorful, and super satisfying—perfect for when you want something delicious without any hassle.
