Let’s Make it together
Cook the Chicken: Start by preheating your grill or skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper before cooking them until they are golden brown and cooked through—about 6-7 minutes per side works wonders.
Prepare the Dressing and Lettuce: While the chicken cooks, wash and chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces. In a small bowl, mix together Caesar dressing with a splash of fresh lemon juice for added zest.
Slice the Chicken: Once cooked through, let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips—this helps retain its juiciness.
Assemble Your Wraps: Grab your tortillas and layer them with romaine lettuce first. Add sliced chicken on top followed by drizzling some Caesar dressing over everything generously.
Add Cheese and Roll Up: Sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over your layered goodness before carefully rolling up each tortilla tightly from one end to another.
Slicing & Serving Time: Slice each wrap diagonally for that Instagram-worthy look before serving them up with extra dressing on the side—if you’re feeling fancy!
Your journey to flavor town via these delightful Chicken Caesar Wraps is now complete! Enjoy every bite knowing you’ve created something scrumptious yourself!
