Instructions

1

Prepare the Chicken

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Pro tip: Ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the seasoning for better flavour.

2

Cook the Chicken

Grill the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Pro tip: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature at the thickest part of the breast.

3

Assemble the Wraps

Lay a tortilla flat and spread 2 tablespoons of Caesar dressing over it. Add a layer of chopped romaine lettuce.

Pro tip: Leave about 2 cm (1 inch) around the edges of the tortilla for easy wrapping.

4

Add the Chicken and Toppings

Place sliced chicken, Parmesan cheese, and crushed croutons over the lettuce.

Pro tip: For extra crunch, add more croutons to your liking.

5

Wrap It Up

Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly from the bottom up. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

Pro tip: Keep the wrap tight to prevent ingredients from spilling out.

6

Serve

Cut the wraps diagonally in half and serve immediately.

Pro tip: For a fancier presentation, use a sharp knife to ensure clean cuts.
