Ingredients
  

2 large chicken breasts

2 tablespoons olive oil

Zest and juice of 1 fresh lemon

2 teaspoons dried Italian herbs (a mix of oregano, basil, and thyme)

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

4 large whole wheat tortillas

2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped into bite-sized pieces

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 cup Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)

1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese

Optional: Handful of croutons for an extra crunch

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken:

    - In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, dried Italian herbs, salt, and freshly cracked pepper to create a flavorful marinade.

      - Add the chicken breasts to the bowl, ensuring they are thoroughly coated with the marinade. Cover with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for enhanced flavor.

        Grill the Chicken:

          - Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat until hot.

            - Take the marinated chicken breasts out of the refrigerator and remove them from the marinade, letting the excess drip off.

              - Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until it is cooked through and the juices run clear. The internal temperature should ideally reach 165°F (75°C).

                - Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and allow it to rest for about 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

                  Prepare the Wraps:

                    - In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, Caesar dressing, and half of the grated Parmesan cheese. Toss gently until the ingredients are well mixed and the lettuce is evenly coated in dressing.

                      - On a clean work surface, lay out a tortilla. Place a generous scoop of the salad mixture in the center, followed by a few slices of the grilled chicken. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese and add croutons if you like a crunchy texture.

                        Roll the Wrap:

                          - To roll the wrap, fold in the sides of the tortilla toward the center, then begin rolling from the bottom up to encase the filling securely.

                            - Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling ingredients.

                              Serve:

                                - If desired, slice the wraps in half diagonally for easier handling and a beautiful presentation. Serve immediately for the best flavor, or wrap them in parchment paper to take on the go. Enjoy your vibrant and tasty wraps bursting with zesty flavor!
