Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (450g) patted dry
- 1 tbsp olive oil (15ml)
- 1 tsp kosher salt (5g)
- 0.5 tsp black pepper (2g)
- 4 cups romaine lettuce (140g) crisp, chopped, and thoroughly dried
- 0.33 cup shaved parmesan cheese (30g) large flakes
- 1 cup rustic croutons (60g) slightly crushed
- 0.5 cup creamy white Caesar dressing (120ml) thick quality
- 4 large soft white flour tortillas 10-inch (25cm) size
Instructions
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season generously on all sides with kosher salt and black pepper.
- Heat the olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until a deep golden-brown crust forms and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Transfer the chicken to a cutting board, let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thick strips.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, shaved parmesan cheese, and lightly crushed rustic croutons.
- Drizzle the Caesar dressing over the salad mixture and toss thoroughly until evenly coated.
- Warm the flour tortillas slightly until soft and pliable.
- Spoon the dressed salad mixture onto the lower-middle section of each tortilla and top with sliced chicken.
- Fold the sides inward and roll tightly from the bottom up to create secure wraps.
- Place the wraps seam-side down in a dry skillet over medium heat and toast for 1-2 minutes per side until lightly golden.
- Slice in half and serve immediately.
Notes
- Crush the croutons slightly to prevent them from tearing the tortilla.
- Dry the romaine lettuce thoroughly so the dressing stays creamy and thick.
- For extra flavor, use freshly shaved parmesan instead of pre-grated cheese.
- Wraps are best served warm immediately after toasting.
