3. Worcestershire Sauce. For an umami taste.
4. Anchovy Paste. This provides a deep, salty flavor.
5. Lemon Juice. This brightens the overall taste
6. Sugar. This helps to balance the savory flavors with a touch of sweetness.
7. Pepper. This adds a sharp, pungent flavor.
8. Parmesan Cheese. Add for a nutty, salty taste.

Additional Ingredients

1. Romaine Lettuce. These hearty leaves hold dressing well.
2. Shaved Parmesan. This ingredient is essential for any Caesar salad.
3. Cajun Seasoning. To flavor the chicken.
4. Boneless Skinless Chicken. I use chicken breasts because it's lean and healthy.
5. Cooking Oil. To sear the chicken.
6. Butter. This will help to keep the chicken breasts moist.
7. Croutons. This adds a nice, familiar crunch.
8. Bacon. Because bacon makes everything taste better.
9. Flour Tortillas. Use large flour tortillas for plenty of surface space.

How to Make Grilled Chicken Caesar Wrap

This is a straightforward process and certain elements can be made ahead of time to make assembly quick and easy.

Cook Bacon

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Place bacon slices on a lined baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the bacon is cooked through and slightly crispy.

Use a chef's knife to roughly chop bacon slices into bite-sized pieces. Set aside until later use.

Prepare Homemade Caesar Dressing

Combine all dressing ingredients In a small/medium-sized bowl, except sugar and pepper. Whisk until thoroughly combined and add sugar and pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate until later use.

Grill Chicken Breasts

In a large saute pan, add cooking oil, heating pan to medium heat. Coat chicken breasts in cajun seasoning making certain that chicken is coated thoroughly. Sear chicken on both sides until cooked through.

While the chicken breasts are cooking, use the butter to help baste the chicken. Allow the chicken breasts to rest for at least 10 minutes and then slice them into bite-sized pieces. Set aside until later use.

Assemble Grilled Chicken Caesar Wrap

Now that the bacon, Caesar dressing, and chicken breasts are prepared, we can prepare the grilled chicken Caesar wraps!

Add romaine lettuce, sliced parmesan, croutons, crumbled bacon, 2-3 tablespoon of dressing and 1 teaspoon of black pepper to a large bowl and mix using tongs or your hands.

Sear the flour tortillas on both sides in a large saute pan,(about 30 seconds each) until warmed through. Place the warmed tortillas on a flat surface, add half of the Caesar salad mix, and top with half of the cooked chicken breasts.

Wrap the tortillas tightly like a burrito and slice them in half. Repeat the additional steps to prepare the second wrap, and slice it in half again. Finally, enjoy!

Recipe Variations
