1. Cut chicken breasts into small bite-sized pieces so they cook quickly and evenly. 2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter or olive oil and allow it to melt and heat until shimmering. 3. Add chopped chicken in a single layer. Season with salt, pepper, and minced garlic. 4. Cook 4–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is lightly golden and cooked through. Pieces should feel firm and reach an internal temperature of 165°F. Slight browning helps keep the texture a bit drier. 5. Remove from heat and let rest 2–3 minutes. 6. In a bowl, toss chopped romaine lettuce with Caesar dressing and grated parmesan cheese. 7. Lay flour tortillas flat. Sprinkle a small amount of cheddar cheese down the center. 8. Add the cooked chicken over the cheddar, then top with the dressed romaine. 9. Fold in the sides and roll tightly from the bottom up to form a soft wrap. 10. Serve immediately while the tortilla is soft and the filling is warm.

What is a classic meal?

Caesar dressing is a rich, creamy sauce with bold flavor. It’s commonly used for salads but also works well as a coating, dip, or finishing ingredient.

It pairs especially well with simple proteins and crisp ingredients. Because it’s strong in flavor, a small amount can carry the whole dish.
