Instructions
Step 1: Preparing the Chicken
Preheat your grill pan over medium-high heat, coating it with olive oil. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice for extra zest. Grill each side for 5-6 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F). Once cooked, let them rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin strips.
Step 2: Assembling the Wraps
Warm the flour tortillas on a skillet or in the microwave for about 15-30 seconds until pliable. Spread a generous spoonful of Caesar dressing on each tortilla, then layer with a handful of romaine lettuce, cherry tomato halves, and chicken slices. Add avocado slices and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese on top for an added touch of richness.
Step 3: Wrapping Technique
To wrap, fold in the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll up tightly from the bottom. Ensure the seam side is down to keep the wrap secure and intact. You can cut each wrap in half diagonally for a stylish presentation.
Step 4: Optional Grilling
For an extra layer of flavor, consider grilling each assembled wrap on a skillet for 1-2 minutes per side, creating a delightful crispy exterior.
