# How to Make:

01 - Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Brush chicken breasts with olive oil and season evenly with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
02 - Grill chicken for 5 to 7 minutes per side until fully cooked and juices run clear. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
03 - In a large bowl, combine chopped romaine, Caesar dressing, parmesan cheese, and croutons. Toss until evenly coated.
04 - Lay out tortillas and divide Caesar salad mixture evenly among them, placing in the center of each. Top with sliced grilled chicken.
05 - Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll up tightly to form a wrap.
06 - Slice wraps in half if desired and serve immediately.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It delivers all the richness of a Caesar salad in a form you can eat with one hand, which means less cleanup and more freedom.
  • The chicken stays juicy and the lettuce stays crunchy, so every bite has contrast and texture.
  • You can prep the components ahead and assemble wraps in under five minutes when hunger strikes.
  • It feels like restaurant food but costs a fraction of the price and tastes fresher.
02 -
  • Resting the chicken after grilling is not optional, it keeps the meat juicy instead of dry and stringy.
  • Don't overdress the salad or the tortilla will get soggy before you finish rolling, a light coating is enough.
  • Use room temperature tortillas so they roll without cracking, a quick pass over a flame or in the microwave for ten seconds works wonders.
03 -
  • Grill extra chicken at the start of the week so you can throw together wraps in minutes without any cooking.
  • Warm the tortillas briefly before rolling to make them more pliable and less likely to tear.
  • Add a handful of baby spinach or arugula to the salad for extra greens without changing the flavor.
  • If you're packing these for lunch, wrap them tightly in foil or parchment to keep everything secure and prevent sogginess.
