  • Chef’s knife
  • Mixing bowl

  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula or tongs

Method
 

Prepare and Grill the Chicken
  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly season 2 large chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. Grill for about 6-7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove and let rest before slicing thinly.
Chop the Romaine Lettuce
  1. While the chicken is grilling, chop 1 cup of romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces.
Mix the Filling
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine chopped romaine lettuce, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, and 1/2 cup crushed garlic croutons. Pour in 1/2 cup meat-free Caesar dressing and toss until evenly coated.
Cook the Turkey Bacon
  1. Cook 1/4 cup turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Drain on paper towels and crumble into bite-sized pieces.
Assemble the Wraps
  1. Lay out 4 whole wheat tortillas. Divide the lettuce mixture evenly among them. Top each with sliced grilled chicken and crumbled turkey bacon. Optionally add more Parmesan.
Wrap It Up
  1. Fold the sides of each tortilla over the filling and roll tightly from the bottom up to form a wrap. Secure with a toothpick or wrap in parchment paper if desired.
Serve and Enjoy
  1. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor. These wraps also travel well for packed lunches or picnics.

Notes

  • Marinate chicken breasts for 30 minutes in olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper for extra flavor.
  • Swap Caesar dressing for Greek yogurt-based dressing to lighten the wrap.
  • Use gluten-free wraps as an alternative to whole wheat tortillas if preferred.
  • Crush garlic croutons just before assembling to keep them crispy.
  • For a vegetarian option, substitute grilled chicken with roasted chickpeas or grilled portobello mushrooms.
