Method

Grilled Chicken

Prepare and pound

Pat the chicken breasts dry. If breasts are thick, slice horizontally or pound to an even thickness about 1/2 inch so they cook evenly.

Season

In a small bowl combine 2 tbs olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt and black pepper. Rub the mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.

Cook

Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add the chicken and cook 4-6 minutes per side (depending on thickness) until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and juices run clear. Remove from heat and let rest 5 minutes, then slice thinly across the grain into strips.

Dressing

Use or make dressing

If using store-bought Caesar dressing, measure 3/4 cup and set aside. To make a quick homemade version: whisk together 3/4 cup mayonnaise (or a combination of mayo and Greek yogurt), 1 tsp Dijon mustard, 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 tsp anchovy paste (optional), 1-2 tbs lemon juice, and salt & pepper to taste. Adjust consistency with a teaspoon or two of water if too thick.

Assemble Wraps

Prepare lettuce and tortillas

Chop romaine into bite-sized pieces and pat dry. Warm tortillas briefly in a dry skillet 10-20 seconds per side or microwave 15 seconds to make them pliable. If desired, lightly butter the skillet and toast each tortilla 20-30 seconds per side for a slightly crisp exterior.

Dress the lettuce

Place the chopped romaine in a bowl and toss with about half to two-thirds of the Caesar dressing (about 1/2 cup) until evenly coated. Reserve remaining dressing for adding into the wrap or serving.

Layer ingredients

Lay a warmed tortilla flat. In the center, place about 1 cup of dressed romaine, 3-4 slices of the grilled chicken, and sprinkle about 3 tablespoons (approximately 0.1875 cup) of grated Parmesan. Add a squeeze of lemon if using and a light crack of black pepper. Drizzle a little of the reserved dressing if you want extra sauciness.

Wrap

Fold the bottom edge up over the filling, fold the sides in, and roll tightly to form a secure wrap. Repeat for remaining tortillas and filling.

Optional: Toast the assembled wrap

If you prefer a warmed, slightly crisped wrap, heat a skillet over medium, add a little butter or oil, and place the seam-side down for 1-2 minutes until sealed, then flip and toast the other side 1-2 minutes more.

Finish and serve

Slice each wrap in half on the diagonal. Serve immediately with extra Parmesan and remaining Caesar dressing on the side for dipping.
