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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the grill to medium heat.

Step 2

Brush the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and no pink remains inside.

Step 4

Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Wash and chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces.

Step 7

Halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the cucumber thinly, and slice the kalamata olives.

Step 8

To assemble each wrap, lay a whole-grain tortilla flat on a clean surface.

Step 9

Spread 2 tablespoons of the Caesar dressing onto the center of the tortilla.

Step 10

Layer 0.5 cup of romaine lettuce, a few slices of grilled chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and kalamata olives onto the tortilla.

Step 11

Sprinkle with a tablespoon of grated parmesan cheese.

Step 12

Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly to form a wrap.

Step 13

Repeat with the remaining tortillas and ingredients.

Step 14

Cut the wraps in half, if desired, and serve immediately.
