Ingredients

Scale

For the Croutons

  • 1 cup white bread, cut into 1/2” cubes
  • 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

For the Chicken

  • 1 large chicken breast (about 1/2 lb.), sliced in half lengthwise
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

For the Wraps

  • 1 head romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons to 1/4 cup store-bought or homemade Caesar dressing
  • 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 flour tortillas

Instructions

  1. Make the Croutons: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). On a rimmed baking sheet, toss the bread cubes with 1 teaspoon olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Spread them out in a single layer and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
  2. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breast slices on all sides with dried oregano, remaining 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken and cook, turning occasionally, until both sides have a nice sear and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), about 8 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it rest until cool enough to handle.
  3. Slice the Chicken: Once the chicken is cool, slice it into strips suitable for wrapping.
  4. Assemble the Salad: In a large bowl, combine the sliced chicken, homemade croutons, chopped romaine lettuce, grated Parmesan, and your desired amount of Caesar dressing (between 2 tablespoons and 1/4 cup). Toss everything together well. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste if needed.
  5. Build the Wraps: Divide the chicken Caesar salad mixture evenly among the 4 flour tortillas. Wrap each tortilla burrito-style, folding in the sides and rolling tightly. Slice each wrap in half for easier eating and serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can customize the Caesar dressing to your taste by adding anchovies or using a dairy-free version if desired.
  • For crispier chicken, you can sear it first and finish cooking in the oven at 375°F for 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches safe internal temperature of 165°F.
  • Homemade croutons add great texture and flavor, but store-bought croutons work well as a shortcut.
  • Wraps can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 day, but the lettuce may wilt slightly.
