Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Seasoning

  • 1 Chicken Breast
  • ½ tsp Kosher Salt
  • ¼ tsp Cracked Black Pepper
  • 3 tbsp Olive Oil (divided: 2 tbsp for chicken and wrap toasting, 1 tbsp for bacon cooking)

Wrap Components

  • 1 Large Burrito-Size Tortilla
  • 1 Head Iceberg Lettuce (or substitute with Romaine Lettuce)
  • 4 Bacon Strips
  • 4 tbsp Store-bought Caesar Dressing
  • ¼ cup Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bacon: Heat 1 tbsp of vegetable or olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the bacon strips and cook for 2-4 minutes on each side until crispy to your liking. Remove the bacon, let it cool slightly, then chop into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Season both sides of the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tbsp olive oil. When shimmering, add the chicken breast and sear each side for 4 minutes until golden brown. Transfer the skillet to the oven and 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. Make the Salad: Rinse, dry, and chop the iceberg lettuce into bite-sized pieces. On a large cutting board, combine the chopped lettuce, sliced chicken, chopped bacon, Caesar dressing, and freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Use a large knife to chop and mix everything together until well-combined.
  4. Assemble the Wrap: 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. Toast the Wrap (Pro Tip!): Heat a clean skillet over medium heat and add a small drizzle of olive oil or spray with 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. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For best results, use freshly grated Parmesan cheese instead of pre-grated for better flavor and texture.
  • If iceberg lettuce is not available, Romaine lettuce is a great substitute for a traditional Caesar salad taste.
  • You can substitute the store-bought Caesar dressing with homemade dressing for a fresher taste.
  • To keep the wrap crisp after assembling, toast it just before serving.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is fully cooked to a safe 165°F (75°C).
  • For a lower calorie version, use turkey bacon or skip bacon altogether.
