→ Assembly

10 - 4 large flour tortillas, 10-inch

# Directions:

01 - Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Brush chicken breasts with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
02 - Grill chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until fully cooked and juices run clear. Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
03 - In a large bowl, combine chopped romaine, Caesar dressing, parmesan cheese, and croutons. Toss until evenly coated.
04 - Lay out the tortillas. Divide the Caesar salad mixture evenly among the tortillas, placing it in the center of each. Top with sliced grilled chicken.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together faster than ordering delivery and tastes like you put in real effort.
  • The combination of warm grilled chicken and cold, crunchy greens makes every bite feel balanced and satisfying.
  • You can make it your own by swapping proteins or adding bacon, tomatoes, or avocado without changing the core magic.
  • Its easy to pack for lunch the next day, and the tortilla holds everything together without getting soggy if you keep the dressing light.
02 -
  • Let the chicken rest after grilling or all the juices will run out when you slice it, leaving the meat dry and bland.
  • Warm the tortillas for a few seconds in a dry skillet or microwave before wrapping so they fold without tearing.
  • Toss the salad just before assembling, not ahead of time, or the croutons will get soggy and lose their crunch.
03 -
  • If your chicken breasts are uneven in thickness, pound them gently with a meat mallet so they cook evenly and dont dry out on the thin end.
  • Use a mix of regular and whole wheat tortillas if youre serving a group, it adds variety without extra effort.
  • Grate the parmesan yourself instead of buying pre shredded, the texture and flavor are noticeably better and it melts into the greens more naturally.
