Description

A delicious and easy-to-make Chopped Chicken Caesar Salad Wrap that combines the classic flavors of Caesar salad with grilled chicken and crispy bacon, all wrapped in a tortilla.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 chicken breast
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon cracked black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large burrito-size tortilla
  • 1 head iceberg lettuce
  • 4 bacon strips
  • 4 tablespoons store-bought Caesar dressing
  • ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the bacon strips and cook for 2-4 minutes on each side, depending on how crispy you like it. Remove the bacon, let it cool slightly, then chop into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
  2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon olive oil. When shimmering, add the chicken breasts. Sear each side for 4 minutes until golden brown, then transfer the skillet to the oven. Roast for 9-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thin strips.
  3. Rinse, dry, and chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces. On a large cutting board, add the lettuce, sliced chicken, chopped bacon, Caesar dressing, and freshly grated Parmesan. Use a large knife to chop and mix everything together until well-combined.
  4. Place the tortilla on a flat surface and add the salad mixture down the center. Fold in the sides and tightly roll up the tortilla into a wrap.
  5. To toast the wrap, heat a clean skillet over medium heat and add a small drizzle of olive oil or a quick spray of cooking spray. Place the wrap seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, pressing down gently with a spatula, until the tortilla is golden brown and crisp.

Notes

  • You can substitute the chicken breast with grilled chicken strips for convenience.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like cherry tomatoes or cucumbers for extra crunch.
  • This wrap is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored for a day in the refrigerator.
