Ingredients

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1/4 cup Caesar dressing
1/2 cup croutons, lightly crushed
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
2 tbsp bacon bits (optional)

Instructions

1

Rub the 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast with 1 tbsp olive oil, then season with 1 tsp Italian seasoning, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
2

Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.
3

Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. Then slice it into thin strips.
4

Warm the 2 large flour tortillas (10-inch) slightly in a dry skillet or microwave for 10-15 seconds to make them more pliable.
5

In a bowl, toss the 2 cups chopped romaine lettuce with most of the 1/4 cup Caesar dressing, reserving some for drizzling.
6

Lay the tortillas flat and layer each with the dressed lettuce, grilled chicken strips, 1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes, 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion, 1/2 cup lightly crushed croutons, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, and 2 tbsp bacon bits (optional) if using.
7

Drizzle with the remaining Caesar dressing.
8

Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll up tightly from the bottom, enclosing the filling.
9

Cut each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately, or wrap in parchment paper or aluminum foil for a portable lunch.
