Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Dressing & Cheese

  • 1/2 cup creamy Caesar dressing
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, shaved or grated

Wrap & Vegetables

  • 4 large flour tortillas (or whole wheat/gluten-free tortillas)
  • 2 cups romaine lettuce, crisp and fresh

Optional Extras

  • Hot sauce or red pepper flakes (for spicy twist)
  • Thinly sliced cucumbers or bell peppers (for extra crunch)
  • Avocado slices (for creamy texture)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Place them in a slow cooker and add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours until the chicken is tender and easily shredded.
  2. Shred the Chicken: Remove the cooked chicken from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Reserve some of the cooking juices to mix back into the chicken for extra flavor and moisture.
  3. Combine with Dressing: In a large bowl, toss the shredded chicken with creamy Caesar dressing until evenly coated, ensuring a zesty, garlicky flavor throughout.
  4. Assemble the Wraps: Lay a flour tortilla flat. Layer with fresh romaine lettuce, a generous scoop of dressed chicken, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Roll the tortilla tightly, folding in the sides to secure all fillings inside.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Slice the wraps in half for easier handling and serve immediately for best texture, or refrigerate if preparing ahead.

Notes

  • Use slow cooker juices mixed in with shredded chicken for enhanced moisture and flavor.
  • Warm tortillas slightly before assembling to make them more pliable and prevent cracking.
  • Avoid overusing Caesar dressing to prevent soggy wraps.
  • Use crisp romaine lettuce for signature crunch.
  • Make extra chicken for leftovers useful in salads or sandwiches.
