Instructions

1
In a large bowl, combine the chicken thighs with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and about 1 cup of Caesar dressing. Mix well to coat and set aside to marinate.
2
To make the Caesar dressing, combine mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, pureed garlic, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper in a separate large bowl.
3
Whisk the dressing ingredients until smooth and well combined.
4
Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the dressing and whisk again until incorporated.
5
On a hot griddle or large pan, cook the marinated chicken thighs until golden brown, charred, and cooked through.
6
Lightly toast a large flour tortilla on the griddle on both sides.
7
In a mixing bowl, combine chopped romaine lettuce, croutons, and grated Parmesan cheese.
8
Dice the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces and add it to the salad bowl.
9
Pour some of the prepared Caesar dressing over the salad and toss everything together until well coated.
10
Spoon the chicken Caesar salad mixture onto the center of the warm tortilla.
11
Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a burrito.
12
Place the wrap seam-side down on the hot griddle to seal and toast the outside until crispy.
13
Remove the wrap from the griddle, cut it in half, and serve immediately.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Pat chicken thighs dry before grilling to promote browning and crisping at the edges; marinate at least 2 hours for Caesar flavor to penetrate.
Grill chicken skin-side down first on medium-high heat until golden (4–5 min), then flip and cook until internal temp reaches 165°F.
Toast tortillas directly over a gas flame or in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side to add char and prevent sogginess from the creamy dressing.
Dice grilled chicken into bite-sized pieces while still warm so the Caesar dressing coats evenly; cool slightly before assembling to avoid wilting lettuce.

Substitutions

Boneless, skinless chicken breasts → chicken thighs (cook 1–2 min less; breasts dry out faster)
Mayonnaise-based Caesar → store-bought Caesar dressing (use 1 cup, skip remaining dressing components)
Romaine lettuce → mixed greens or spinach (spinach wilts faster; use just before serving)
Croutons → toasted breadcrumbs or crushed tortilla chips (adds crunch without large pieces)

Storage & make-ahead

Store cooked chicken in an airtight container in the fridge up to 3 days; reheat gently on a skillet or in a 350°F oven until warmed through. Assemble wraps fresh to order.
