Ingredients

Scale

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

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

Wrap

  • 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. Prepare Croutons: Preheat your oven to 375°F. 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 until evenly coated. Spread the bread cubes in a single layer and bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until they are golden and crisp, stirring halfway if desired.
  2. Season the Chicken: While the croutons bake, season the chicken breasts on all sides with 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to ensure even flavor distribution.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for about 8 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until the chicken develops a nice sear and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 165°F, ensuring it is fully cooked.
  4. Slice Chicken: Transfer the cooked chicken to a cutting board and allow it to cool slightly until it’s safe to handle. Then, slice the chicken into thin strips for easy wrapping.
  5. Assemble Salad: In a large bowl, combine the sliced chicken, homemade croutons, chopped romaine lettuce, finely grated Parmesan, and your preferred amount (2 tablespoons to 1/4 cup) of Caesar dressing. Toss everything together gently until evenly coated. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste if needed.
  6. Wrap and Serve: Divide the 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 handling and serve immediately for best freshness.

Notes

  • You can make the croutons ahead and store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Feel free to substitute the chicken breast with grilled chicken thighs for a juicier option.
  • Adjust the amount of Caesar dressing to your taste preference; start with less and add more if needed.
  • For a low-carb version, use low-carb or whole wheat tortillas instead of regular flour tortillas.
  • Make sure the chicken is fully cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F to ensure food safety.
