Calories 410 kcal

Equipment

1 Knife for chopping
1 Cutting Board
1 Oven or Air Fryer

Ingredients

2 chicken breasts cooked and breaded for crunch
4 large flour tortillas warmed
2 cups romaine lettuce washed and chopped
0.5 cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes sliced, optional
0.5 cup croutons for extra crunch; omit if you prefer a softer wrap
0.33 cup Caesar dressing use store-bought or homemade
0.25 tsp salt to taste
0.13 tsp black pepper to taste

Instructions

Start by cooking the chicken breasts. You can use store-bought breaded chicken or make your own by coating chicken strips in seasoned breadcrumbs and baking or air-frying until golden and crispy.
While the chicken cooks, chop the romaine lettuce, slice the cherry tomatoes, and grate the Parmesan cheese. Set aside your warmed tortillas.
On each tortilla, layer lettuce, crispy chicken pieces, tomatoes, croutons, and Parmesan. Drizzle with Caesar dressing, then season with salt and pepper if you like.
Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling. Cut in half to serve or wrap in parchment for an on-the-go meal.

Notes

Don’t overfill the tortilla or it might be hard to roll up.
Keep the chicken crispy by letting it cool slightly before assembling.
Warm tortillas slightly for easier rolling and fewer cracks.

Variations: add avocado, switch croutons for nuts, or use kale/spinach. For gluten-free, use GF tortillas and breaded chicken. Store separately and assemble before eating for best texture.
