Print Recipe

A reliable and delicious meal prep solution featuring seasoned chicken, crisp romaine, and Caesar dressing wrapped in pliable tortillas. Designed to stay fresh and textured for up to three days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Large flour tortillas
  • 4 large romaine lettuce leaves per wrap
  • Caesar dressing (homemade or high-quality store-bought)
  • Freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • Fresh garlic cloves, minced
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Croutons
  • Salt
  • Black pepper
  • Dried Italian herbs

Instructions

  1. Pat chicken breasts dry and season generously with salt, pepper, dried Italian herbs, and minced garlic.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with olive oil. Cook chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  3. Remove chicken from heat and let rest for 5 minutes to redistribute juices.
  4. Wash, dry thoroughly, and chop romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces.
  5. Slice the rested chicken against the grain into thin strips.
  6. In a large bowl, combine sliced chicken, chopped romaine, grated parmesan, and most of the croutons.
  7. Drizzle with Caesar dressing and toss gently to coat without wilting the lettuce.
  8. Lay a tortilla flat and spoon the mixture onto the center, leaving a 2-inch border.
  9. Roll the tortilla tightly from the bottom up, tucking in the sides.
  10. Wrap each finished wrap tightly in plastic wrap or foil and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

Ensure chicken is completely cool before assembling to prevent sogginess. Keep croutons separate until eating time to maintain crunch. Do not freeze these wraps as the lettuce and tortilla will become mushy. For best texture, use a barrier layer like cheese or lettuce directly against the tortilla.
