Ingredients
For the Chicken:
- 2 large chicken breasts about 1 pound
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Optional: 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
For the Wrap Assembly:
- 4 large flour tortillas 10-inch

Instructions
Prepare the Chicken
- Season chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken for 6–7 minutes per side, until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let rest 5 minutes, then slice or dice.
Prepare the Lettuce
- Wash and chop romaine lettuce. Dry thoroughly using a salad spinner or paper towels.
Assemble the Wraps
- Lay a tortilla flat. Add 1 cup romaine lettuce, 2 tbsp Caesar dressing, sliced chicken (½ breast per wrap), and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese. Add optional ingredients if desired.
Wrap It Up
- Fold in the sides, then roll from bottom to top to secure the wrap. For extra crispiness, toast the wrap in a dry skillet for 2 minutes per side.
Notes
For more flavor, use chicken thighs or leftover rotisserie chicken.
Add avocado, buffalo sauce, feta, or sun-dried tomatoes to customize.
To prevent sogginess when prepping ahead, keep components separate and assemble just before eating.
To make it gluten-free, use gluten-free tortillas or lettuce wraps.
