Description

A high-protein, low-carb wrap with grilled chicken, crisp romaine, and dairy-free Caesar dressing. Features halal-certified chicken, warm pliable tortillas, and a no-crouton approach for a lean, energizing lunch.


Ingredients

Scale

8 oz high-grade halal-certified chicken breasts
4 low-carb tortillas
1 head romaine lettuce
1/4 cup Caesar-style dressing (olive oil-based, dairy-free)
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Tofu (optional for plant-based variation)
Jicama shreds (optional gluten-free alternative)


Instructions

Dry chicken bites completely with paper towels
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in skillet over medium-high
cook chicken until 165°F internal temperature is reached
Slice through thickest piece to check texture
Warm tortillas briefly for pliability
Spread 1 tbsp dressing on bottom third of each wrap
Layer 2 oz cooked chicken per wrap
Top with 1/4 head dried romaine lettuce


Notes

Use 1/8-inch chicken slices on mandoline for even cooking
Dust tortillas with olive oil before heating for extra crispness
Store dressing separately to prevent sogginess
Meal prep: Store components separately up to 24 hours
For vegan version: Substitute chicken with extra-firm tofu
Replace romaine with jicama shreds for gluten-free option
Avoid room-temperature tortillas (microwave 10 seconds before use)
