→ For the Wrap
05 -
1 large burrito-size tortilla (gluten-free if needed, at least 25 cm)
06 -
1 head iceberg lettuce
07 -
4 strips bacon
08 -
4 tablespoons dairy-free Caesar dressing
09 -
0.25 cup freshly grated dairy-free Parmesan cheese
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook bacon strips for 2–4 minutes per side until desired crispness is reached. Remove bacon, place on paper towels to drain excess fat, let cool, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
02 -
Preheat oven to 200°C. Season chicken breast with salt and pepper on both sides. In an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Sear chicken for 4 minutes per side until golden. Transfer skillet to oven; roast for 9–12 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 75°C. Let rest 5 minutes before slicing thinly.
03 -
Rinse, dry, and chop iceberg lettuce into bite-sized pieces. On a large cutting board, combine lettuce, sliced chicken, chopped bacon, Caesar dressing, and grated Parmesan. Chop and toss together until dressing evenly coats all ingredients.
04 -
Place tortilla on a clean surface. Lay mixed salad down the centre. Fold in sides and roll tightly to enclose filling.
05 -
Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Add a light drizzle of olive oil or a spray of cooking oil. Place wrap seam-side down and toast for 1–2 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until tortilla is crisp and golden.
06 -
Slice the wrap in half on a diagonal and serve immediately.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Warm the tortilla briefly before assembling to prevent cracking.
02 -
Finely chop all fillings to ensure easy rolling and even distribution.
03 -
Rest the cooked chicken for five minutes before slicing to retain moisture.
04 -
For an even faster meal, use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken.
05 -
Wrap size matters—a large burrito tortilla prevents spillage.
