Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces whole-grain tortillas
- 2 pieces chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups romaine lettuce
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium cucumber
- 0.5 cup kalamata olives
- 0.25 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat the grill to medium heat.
Brush the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.
Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and no pink remains inside.
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 0.5 cup of plain Greek yogurt, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt and black pepper. This will serve as the Caesar dressing.
Wash and chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces.
Halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the cucumber thinly, and slice the kalamata olives.
To assemble each wrap, lay a whole-grain tortilla flat on a clean surface.
Spread 2 tablespoons of the Caesar dressing onto the center of the tortilla.
Layer 0.5 cup of romaine lettuce, a few slices of grilled chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and kalamata olives onto the tortilla.
Sprinkle with a tablespoon of grated parmesan cheese.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly to form a wrap.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and ingredients.
Cut the wraps in half, if desired, and serve immediately.
