A quick, satisfying grilled chicken wrap loaded with lettuce, sprouts, tomato, avocado, cheddar, and Caesar dressing.
Prep Time20 minutes
Cook Time10 minutes
Total Time30 minutes
Servings: 8 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless chicken breast or thighs
  • 8 large burrito-size flour tortillas
  • 16 leaves romaine lettuce leaves
  • 4 ounces alfalfa sprouts
  • 2 plum tomatoes
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 8 ounces shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 3/4 cup Caesar dressing
  • lemon pepper seasoning to taste
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium heat.
  • Season the chicken on all sides with lemon pepper seasoning and salt.
  • Grill the chicken about 5 minutes per side, until cooked through, then transfer to a cutting board and rest at least 5 minutes.
  • Chop the rested chicken into about 1/2-inch cubes.
  • Trim romaine leaves so they are about 3 inches shorter than the tortillas.
  • Dice the plum tomatoes into 1/2-inch cubes and dice the avocado into 1/2-inch cubes.
  • Warm tortillas briefly if needed so they are pliable (5–10 seconds in the microwave).
  • To assemble each wrap: lay a tortilla flat, place romaine leaves side by side down the center, sprinkle about 1/2 ounce alfalfa sprouts, and drizzle roughly 1 1/2 tablespoons Caesar dressing over the lettuce.
  • Arrange about 1/4 cup chopped chicken down the length of one lettuce leaf, then top with 2 tablespoons diced tomato and 2 tablespoons diced avocado.
  • Sprinkle about 1 ounce shredded cheddar over the fillings.
  • Fold the short ends of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly from one long edge to form a sealed cylinder with ends tucked under.
  • Place the wrap seam-side down and cut in half on a diagonal; repeat for remaining ingredients, then serve or wrap for later.

Equipment

  • Grill or Grill Pan
  • Cutting Board
  • Chef’s knife
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Plate or tray
  • Plastic wrap (optional)

Notes

  • Grill the chicken in a single layer for even cooking.
  • Warm tortillas briefly to prevent cracking while rolling.
  • Use ripe avocado for best texture and flavor.
  • Assemble just before serving for maximum freshness.
  • Leftover grilled chicken works well for meal prep.
