Essential Ingredients

- Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts: Use about 3-4 breasts; adjust based on how many hungry mouths you need to feed.
- Romaine Lettuce: Freshly chopped romaine adds crunch; look for vibrant green leaves to ensure freshness.
- Caesar Dressing: A good quality dressing is key; homemade or store-bought both work wonders.
- Parmesan Cheese: Freshly grated parmesan elevates the wrap with its nutty flavor; avoid pre-grated options if possible.

Let’s Make it Together
Prepare the Chicken: Start by seasoning your chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken until golden brown and no longer pink inside, about 6-7 minutes per side.
Chop the Lettuce: While your chicken cooks, take this time to chop your romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces. The crunchier, the better! Set aside in a bowl.
Create the Wrap Assembly Line: Lay out your tortillas on a clean surface like a countertop or cutting board. Have your chopped lettuce, sliced chicken, dressing, and cheese ready within reach for easy assembly.
Assemble Your Wraps: Begin by layering your ingredients on each tortilla: start with lettuce, add sliced chicken, drizzle dressing generously, and top with parmesan cheese.
Wrap It Up!: Fold in the sides of the tortilla then roll from one end to another tightly but gently. You want all that goodness snug inside without bursting out!
Strong flavors meet delightful textures in these wraps—let them sit for a minute before slicing in half diagonally.
