Ingredients
For the Chicken
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
For the Wraps
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
- ⅓ cup Caesar dressing
- ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup Caesar-style croutons, roughly crushed
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil. Season both sides with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Allow the chicken to sit for about 5 minutes while the grill heats up.
Step 2: Grill the Chicken
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for 5–6 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Step 3: Slice the Chicken
Transfer the rested chicken to a cutting board and slice it into thin strips.
Step 4: Make the Caesar Salad Filling
In a large bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, Caesar dressing, Parmesan cheese, and crushed croutons. Toss until everything is evenly coated.
Step 5: Assemble the Wraps
Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface. Divide the Caesar salad mixture evenly among the tortillas. Top each tortilla with sliced grilled chicken.
Step 6: Wrap and Roll
Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll tightly from the bottom up to create secure wraps.
Step 7: Serve
Slice the wraps in half if desired and serve immediately. For extra texture, lightly toast the wrapped tortillas in a skillet for 1–2 minutes per side before serving.

Recipe Notes
Make Ahead Tip
The grilled chicken can be prepared up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Assemble the wraps just before serving for the freshest texture.
Storage
Store leftover ingredients separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Fully assembled wraps may become soggy if stored for extended periods.
Optional Add-Ins
- Crispy bacon pieces
- Diced avocado
- Cherry tomatoes
- Shredded mozzarella cheese

Pro Tip
Warm the tortillas for 10–15 seconds in the microwave before assembling. This makes them more flexible and less likely to tear while rolling.
