How to Make It

Create these wraps with ease using the following steps:

1. Season Chicken

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with kosher salt and black pepper on both sides.

2. Sear Chicken

Add the seasoned chicken to the hot skillet, cooking for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.

3. Let Chicken Rest

Remove chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain its juices. This step is essential for tender meat.

4. Chop Ingredients

While the chicken is resting, chop the romaine lettuce and prepare the shaved parmesan and croutons.

5. Slice Chicken

After the chicken has rested, slice it into bite-sized pieces.

6. Assemble Wraps

Lay out the tortillas and spread a generous amount of Caesar dressing on each. Then, layer lettuce, sliced chicken, parmesan cheese, and croutons.

7. Roll and Serve

Carefully roll up each tortilla tightly. Cut in half and serve immediately for the best texture.

How to Store It

Fridge: Store in airtight containers for up to 3 days.
Freezer: No, the wraps don’t freeze well.
Reheat: Heat in a skillet over low for 5-7 minutes.
