  • Author: Alioui

  • Yield: 1 serving 1x

Description

A quick and delicious meal that combines the classic flavors of a Caesar salad with the convenience of a wrap.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 chicken breast
  • ¼ tsp cracked black pepper
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • 1 large burrito-size tortilla
  • 4 strips bacon
  • ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan
  • 1 head iceberg lettuce
  • 4 tbsp Caesar dressing

Instructions

  1. Start by heating 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the strips of bacon to the pan. Fry the bacon for about 2 to 4 minutes on each side, or until it’s beautifully crispy and golden brown. Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess grease. After a few minutes, chop the bacon into bite-sized pieces for easy incorporation into your wrap.
  2. Next, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking. While the oven heats up, season your chicken breast with kosher salt and cracked black pepper, making sure to coat it evenly. Heat another tablespoon of olive oil in the skillet and sear the chicken breast for about 4 minutes on each side until it’s golden brown. After searing, carefully transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake the chicken for 9 to 12 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Once cooked, let it rest for approximately 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
  3. While the chicken is resting, grab a large mixing bowl and proceed to chop the iceberg lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Next, add the sliced chicken, cooked bacon, Caesar dressing, and freshly grated Parmesan cheese to the bowl. Mix everything together thoroughly, ensuring all the ingredients are well combined for that signature Caesar flavor in every bite.
  4. Now it’s time to bring your wrap to life! Lay your large burrito-size tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon the delicious salad mixture into the center of the tortilla, making sure not to overfill it. Fold in the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then carefully roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top. This process will help keep all the tasty ingredients tucked inside.
  5. If you enjoy a crispy exterior, heat the skillet again over medium heat with a little olive oil or cooking spray. Place the assembled wrap seam-side down in the skillet and toast for 1 to 2 minutes on each side until the wrap is golden and crispy. This will elevate the flavor and add an extra layer of texture to your meal!

Notes

Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is fully cooked. Adjust the Caesar dressing to taste.
