Let’s Make it Together
Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium heat and drizzle olive oil. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper before placing them in the skillet. Cook each side until golden brown and no longer pink inside, about 6-7 minutes per side.
Prepare the Lettuce and Cheese: While the chicken cooks, wash and dry the romaine lettuce thoroughly. Chop it into bite-sized pieces. Grate or shave fresh Parmesan cheese to sprinkle generously over your wraps.
Assemble Your Wraps: Once the chicken has cooled slightly, slice it into strips. Lay a tortilla flat on a plate layer on romaine lettuce, chicken strips, Caesar dressing, and sprinkle Parmesan cheese over everything.
Wrap It Up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla first, then roll it tightly from the bottom up. Ensure everything is snugly tucked inside so that nothing escapes when you take your first bite.
Slice and Serve: With a sharp knife, slice your wrap in half diagonally for that Instagram-worthy presentation. Serve with extra dressing on the side for those who like an extra drizzle.
