Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tbsp California olive oil or other extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce washed and thoroughly dried
  • 1/3 cup shaved Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup rustic croutons lightly crushed, such as sourdough
  • 1/2 cup creamy Caesar dressing store-bought or homemade
  • 4 large soft flour tortillas white or whole wheat

Method
 

Preparation and Searing
  1. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season generously on all sides with kosher salt and black pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 5 to 6 minutes per side until a deep golden-brown crust forms and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  3. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board, let it rest for 5 minutes, then cut into thick slices.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped romaine, shaved Parmesan, and lightly crushed croutons. Drizzle with the Caesar dressing and toss aggressively until fully coated.
  5. Warm the tortillas slightly. Spoon the dressed salad onto the lower-middle section of each tortilla. Top with the sliced golden-brown chicken.
  6. Fold the left and right sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly from the bottom up to create securely packed layers.
  7. Place the assembled wraps seam-side down in a dry skillet over medium heat. Toast for 1 to 2 minutes per side until lightly golden. Halve and serve immediately.

Notes

For extra crunch, use San Francisco-style sourdough croutons. Lightly crush croutons to prevent tearing the tortilla. Thoroughly dry romaine to keep dressing thick and creamy. Substitute grilled chicken breast strips for a smokier flavor. Store assembled wraps in the fridge for up to 2 days; toast before serving. Avoid overstuffing to ensure a tight roll. Serve with extra Caesar dressing on the side for dipping.
