Tamara's Chicken Caesar Wraps

I had a delicious Caesar wrap from Chili's years ago, which is where I got the inspiration. My kids LOVE this and so do I. And it's easy to make! My youngest likes the salad on the side, but he still eats all of it. You can use leftover grilled chicken or make it just for this meal. You don't even need to add anything because you have all four food groups, but it is good with a green smoothie. Half of a head of lettuce seems extreme for each one, but trust me...it's necessary and delicous. Serves 4.

Tamara's Chicken Caesar Wraps

2 large chicken breasts

2 Tbsp avocado or olive oil

1 Tbsp smoked paprika

1 1/2 tsp garlic salt 

1/2 tsp dried parsley flakes

1/2 tsp pepper, to taste (or more if you like spice)

4 burrito-sized flour tortillas

1 c shredded or sliced cheese

2 heads romaine lettuce

1/4 c creamy Caesar dressing*

Optional toppings: sliced avocado, sliced tomato, sliced cucumber

1. Preheat the grill to 375 degrees, or medium to medium-high. 

2. Cut chicken breasts in half length-wise (two long skinny pieces, each wrap will get a long skinny piece) and place in medium bowl. Drizzle oil over top. Sprinkle garlic salt and pepper over top. Toss to coat thoroughly with oil and spices (I use my hands but you can use tongs or a large spoon). This is where you can be creative and use any other spices you love. Place on preheated grill and cook 6-8 minutes on each side, or until center is no longer pink. Set aside about 10 minutes. Slice breasts into 1/2" strips, keeping each breast piece separate.

3. Meanwhile, wash and chop both heads of lettuce. Place in a large bowl and drizzle with dressing. (*my favorite is Ken's Steak House brand; add more or less to liking). Toss to coat then set aside.

4. Set oven to broil. Place one tortilla on a 1 1/2 foot long sheet of aluminum foil (or baking sheet). Spread sliced chicken breast (1/2 of a breast) along the center of the tortilla. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup cheese. Set under broiler; check after 1 minute. Once cheese is melted, remove from oven and set on plate; repeat until all tortillas have 1/2 of a chicken breast and melted cheese down the center. (You could microwave them, but  no more than 30 seconds per tortilla.)

5. Place the dressing-coated lettuce in the center of the tortilla, diving equally between the four plates. Add sliced avocado, tomato, and/or cucumber if using. Fold like a taco (my preference) or a burrito (my kids's preference). Serve immediately and enjoy!
