Description
Golden grilled chicken with a lemon herb marinade pairs perfectly with creamy Caesar dressing and crispy Parmesan croutons in a toasted tortilla. A quick 30-minute option that balances bold flavors and convenience.
Ingredients
2 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
2 tablespoons olive oil (or avocado oil)
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano (or marjoram for milder flavor)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup Caesar dressing (homemade or store-bought, no anchovies if needed)
1 head romaine lettuce
4 large whole wheat tortillas
1/2 cup Parmesan croutons (homemade or store-bought)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese for topping
Instructions
Combine chicken thighs with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, and season with salt and pepper. Let marinate for 30 minutes.
Preheat indoor grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Cook chicken 7-8 minutes per side, rotating for even charring.
Lightly toast tortillas on both sides in a dry skillet or under the broiler until crisp but pliable.
On each tortilla, layer 1/4 cup Caesar dressing, 1 grilled chicken thigh (sliced), half the romaine, 2 tablespoons Parmesan croutons, and grated Parmesan.
Roll tightly and serve immediately or refrigerate for 10-15 minutes for optimal crunch.
Notes
Use avocado oil in place of olive oil for higher heat resistance
Substitute romaine with mixed greens for variation
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days
Adjust dressing amount to preference (2-3 tbsp per wrap suggested)
