Caesar Chicken Salad Wrap (Print Version)

Juicy grilled chicken, 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
11 - Freshly ground black pepper to taste

# How-To Steps:

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 rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
03 - In a large bowl, combine chopped romaine, 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.
06 - Slice wraps in half if desired and serve immediately.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It turns a side salad into a full meal without feeling heavy or overly complicated.
  • You can prep the chicken ahead and assemble wraps in under five minutes when hunger strikes.
  • Every bite has that perfect balance of creamy, crunchy, and savory.
  • It's one of those rare recipes that tastes just as good at room temperature as it does fresh.
02 -
  • Letting the chicken rest after grilling is the difference between juicy slices and sad, dry pieces that ruin the whole wrap.
  • If you dress the salad more than 10 minutes before assembling, the croutons will turn to mush and the lettuce will wilt.
  • Rolling the wrap too loosely means it falls apart in your hands, so don't be shy about tucking and pressing as you go.
03 -
  • Warm your tortillas briefly before wrapping so they fold smoothly and don't crack under pressure.
  • Use a mix of finely chopped and torn romaine for varied texture, it makes each bite more interesting.
  • If you're serving these at a party, wrap them in parchment paper and tie with kitchen twine for a clean, portable presentation.
