Ingredients
  

For the Caesar Dressing
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (avocado oil mayo preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice (fresh)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon anchovy paste (optional)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for dressing)
  • Salt and black pepper (to taste)
For the Wraps
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb total)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 large flour tortillas (burrito-size)
  • 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for wraps)
  • 1/4 cup croutons (crushed)

Method
 

Prepare the Dressing
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and anchovy paste until completely smooth. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside at room temperature.
Cook the Chicken
  1. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels, then season both sides evenly with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. If the chicken breasts are very thick, pound them to an even ½-inch thickness.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 7-8 minutes per side until golden and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  3. Transfer the cooked chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thin strips.
Assemble the Wraps
  1. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet for 10-15 seconds per side or microwave for 15 seconds until pliable.
  2. Spread 2-3 tablespoons of Caesar dressing down the center of each tortilla. Layer with romaine lettuce, sliced chicken, cherry tomatoes, Parmesan cheese, and crushed croutons.
  3. Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll from the bottom up tightly. Cut in half diagonally and serve immediately.

Notes

For best flavor, ensure chicken is well-seasoned. You can add vegetables like cucumbers or bell peppers for added crunch. Store any leftovers wrapped tightly in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
