A fresh, crunchy take on the classic Caesar — grilled chicken, crisp romaine, shaved parmesan, and a creamy garlicky dressing all wrapped up in a soft tortilla. Perfect for a quick lunch or a make-ahead workday meal.
🥬 Ingredients
For the wraps
- 2 large flour tortillas
- 2 chicken breasts (~300g)
- 1 head romaine lettuce, chopped
- ½ cup parmesan, shaved
- ½ cup croutons, crushed
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt & pepper to taste
For the dressing
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp parmesan, finely grated
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt & pepper to taste
👨🍳 Instructions
- Cook the chicken. Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and olive oil. Grill or pan-fry over medium heat for 6–7 minutes per side until cooked through (74 °C / 165 °F internal). Let rest 5 minutes, then slice.
- Make the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, parmesan, lemon juice, Dijon, garlic, and Worcestershire. Season with salt and pepper. Taste and adjust — it should be tangy and rich.
- Assemble. Lay a tortilla flat. Layer romaine down the center, top with sliced chicken, drizzle generously with dressing, then add parmesan shavings and crushed croutons.
- Wrap & serve. Fold in the sides, then roll tightly from the bottom up. Slice diagonally and serve immediately.
💡 Tips & Variations
- Make ahead: Prep components separately and assemble just before eating to keep the wrap crisp.
- Spice it up: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dressing, or tuck in some pickled jalapeños.
- Vegetarian swap: Use grilled halloumi or roasted chickpeas instead of chicken.
- Toasted version: After wrapping, toast in a dry pan for 1–2 minutes per side for extra crunch — seals the wrap shut too.
