Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (450g) patted dry
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (15ml)
  • 1 tsp kosher salt (5g)
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper (2g)
  • 4 cups romaine lettuce (140g) crisp, chopped, and thoroughly dried
  • 0.33 cup shaved parmesan cheese (30g) large flakes
  • 1 cup rustic croutons (60g) slightly crushed
  • 0.5 cup creamy white Caesar dressing (120ml) thick quality
  • 4 large soft white flour tortillas 10-inch (25cm) size

Equipment

  • 1 Heavy-bottomed or cast-iron skillet Essential for searing the chicken and toasting the tortillas.
  • 1 Large Mixing Bowl For evenly tossing the salad ingredients.

Method
 

Preparation and Searing
  1. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season generously on all sides with kosher salt and black pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until a deep golden-brown crust forms and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  3. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board, let it rest for 5 minutes, then cut into thick slices.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped romaine, shaved parmesan, and lightly crushed rustic croutons. Drizzle with the Caesar dressing and toss aggressively until fully coated.
  5. Warm the tortillas slightly. Spoon the dressed salad onto the lower-middle section of each tortilla. Top with the sliced golden-brown chicken.
  6. Fold the left and right sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly from the bottom up to create securely packed layers.
  7. Place the assembled wraps seam-side down in a dry skillet over medium heat. Toast for 1-2 minutes per side until lightly golden. Halve and serve.

Notes

Tip 1: Crush the croutons slightly to prevent them from ripping the tortilla.
Tip 2: Thoroughly dry your romaine lettuce to ensure the dressing stays thick and creamy.
