Recipe preparation

Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

  • Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts: I usually use about 3-4 chicken breasts but adjust based on how many hungry mouths you have to feed.
  • Romaine Lettuce: Freshly chopped romaine adds crunch and a refreshing taste to every bite.
  • Caesar Dressing: Use your favorite brand or make your own for that homemade touch.
  • Parmesan Cheese: Grated or shaved this cheesy goodness elevates the flavor profile significantly.
  • Tortillas: Flour or whole wheat works well pick what suits your fancy
  • Olive Oil: A splash of high-quality olive oil is perfect for grilling the chicken.
  • Salt and Pepper: Simple seasonings are essential for enhancing all the flavors

The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.

Let’s Make it Together

Grill the Chicken: First things first preheat your grill to medium-high heat. While it’s heating up, season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper. Drizzle olive oil over them to keep things juicy and flavorful as they grill.

Sear Until Perfectly Cooked: Place the seasoned chicken on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C). You’ll know it’s done when it has those lovely grill marks.

Let It Rest (Patience is Key): Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing. This helps retain its juices trust me no one likes dry chicken

Prep Your Wraps: While your chicken rests, chop up that romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Grate or shave your Parmesan cheese so it’s ready to go.

Assemble Your Delicious Wraps: Start by laying out a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Layer some romaine lettuce down first followed by sliced grilled chicken. Drizzle with Caesar dressing and sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top.

Wrap It Up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla then roll from one end to another tightly until you have a beautiful wrap Slice in half if you’re feeling fancy.

Now gather everyone around because these Summer Chicken Caesar Wraps will be gone faster than you can say “What’s for dinner?” Enjoy every last bite
