How to Make It

Follow these simple steps to create your wraps.

Prepare the Chicken

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.

Slice the Chicken

Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into bite-sized pieces.

Assemble the Wraps

In a large bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, shaved parmesan, and crushed croutons. Drizzle the Caesar dressing over the salad mixture and toss until well coated.

Wrap It Up

Place a portion of the salad mixture and sliced chicken in the center of each tortilla. Fold the sides over the filling, then roll tightly from the bottom up to encase the filling completely.

How to Store It

Fridge: Store wrapped in foil or an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Freezer: No, the texture won’t be good after freezing.
Reheat: Warm in a skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes.
