2 tsp olive oil

08 -
4 cups chopped romaine lettuce, packed
09 -
2/3 cup Caesar dressing
10 -
1 tsp garlic powder
11 -
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, shaved or freshly grated
→ Wrap
12 -
4 large flour tortillas, burrito sized
# Steps:
01 -
Combine 3 tablespoons olive oil, lemon zest, salt, black pepper, and 1/3 cup Caesar dressing in a bowl. Place chicken breasts in a resealable bag or shallow dish and add marinade. Massage to coat evenly, refrigerate for 30 minutes to 4 hours.
02 -
Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess drip off. Cook chicken for 6-8 minutes on first side without moving until golden brown, then flip and cook another 6-8 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Rest chicken 5 minutes before slicing.
03 -
Place chopped romaine lettuce in a large bowl and dry thoroughly. Add 2/3 cup Caesar dressing, garlic powder, and half the Parmesan cheese. Toss until lettuce is evenly coated. Fold in sliced chicken and remaining Parmesan cheese gently.
04 -
Heat tortillas individually in a dry skillet for 15 seconds per side or microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel for 10-15 seconds until warm and pliable to prevent tearing during rolling.
05 -
Lay each warm tortilla flat and place about 1 cup of Caesar salad mixture in the center, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold left and right sides inward, then fold the bottom edge up over the filling. Tuck the bottom under and roll tightly toward the top edge, applying gentle pressure to secure the wrap.
# Notes & Tips:
01 -
Pat lettuce completely dry to prevent soggy wraps. Rest chicken before slicing for juiciness. Wraps stay fresh up to 4 hours at room temperature when wrapped in foil.
