Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

4 large romaine lettuce leaves

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

½ cup Caesar dressing (either store-bought or homemade)

½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

4 whole wheat or spinach tortillas

Optional: croutons for an added crunch

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Add the chicken breasts to the bowl and turn them to ensure they are evenly coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate for a minimum of 15 minutes; for deeper flavor, refrigerate and marinate for up to 4 hours.

    Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken breasts and grill them for approximately 6-7 minutes on each side. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). After grilling, remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest on a cutting board for about 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

      Prepare the Salad: While the chicken is resting, wash and thoroughly dry the romaine lettuce leaves. In a mixing bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, Caesar dressing, and freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Gently toss the ingredients together until the tomatoes are well coated with the dressing.

        Assemble the Wraps: Place a tortilla flat on a clean work surface. Begin by laying a romaine lettuce leaf in the center of the tortilla, followed by a generous serving of the salad mixture. Top with slices of the grilled chicken and, if desired, sprinkle with croutons for additional texture.

          Wrap It Up: To create the wrap, fold the sides of the tortilla inward to secure the filling, then start rolling the bottom up over the filling until you form a tight wrap. Ensure that all ingredients remain tucked inside.

            Serve: Slice the wraps in half diagonally and serve them immediately. For an extra touch, provide additional Caesar dressing on the side for dipping.

              Prep Time/Total Time/Servings: 15 minutes | 30 minutes | Serves 4

                Presentation Tips: Serve the wraps on a bright platter with an accompanying small bowl of Caesar dressing for dipping. Garnish the platter with extra cherry tomatoes or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese for added color. Enjoy your delicious and nutritious meal!
