Ingredients

Scale

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

Juice of 1/2 lemon

1/2 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a lighter version)

2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

2 teaspoons anchovy paste (optional but authentic)

1 clove garlic, minced

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Salt and black pepper to taste

4 large flour tortillas or whole wheat wraps

2 cups chopped romaine lettuce

1/2 cup shaved or shredded Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup Caesar croutons, crushed slightly

Extra Caesar dressing for drizzling (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Chicken: Start by preheating your grill, grill pan, or skillet over medium-high heat. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Rub this marinade over the chicken breasts. Grill or pan-sear the chicken for about 5–6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
Make the Caesar Dressing: In a mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Parmesan, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, anchovy paste (if using), minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Assemble the Wraps: Lay a flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. In the center, layer chopped romaine lettuce, grilled chicken strips, a generous spoonful of Caesar dressing, shaved Parmesan, and crushed croutons. Drizzle extra dressing if desired.
Fold and Roll: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then tightly roll it up from the bottom like a burrito. Slice in half on the diagonal for presentation. Repeat with the remaining wraps.

Notes

For added flavor, marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes before cooking in a mixture of lemon juice, olive oil, and garlic.
Substitute grilled shrimp or rotisserie chicken for a faster option.
Add sliced cherry tomatoes or avocado for extra texture and nutrition.
Use whole wheat or spinach wraps for a healthier twist.
