Ingredients
  

2 large chicken breasts

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 teaspoons smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust according to your spice preference)

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

4 large flour tortillas or whole wheat wraps

2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped

½ cup Caesar dressing

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

¼ cup cherry tomatoes, halved

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Begin by patting the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear. In a small bowl, combine smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Generously rub this spice blend all over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated.

    Blacken the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Carefully place the seasoned chicken breasts in the skillet. Cook for approximately 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and crispy blackened on the outside. If you notice the chicken browning too fast, reduce the heat slightly. Once done, remove from heat and allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.

      Assemble the Wraps: While the chicken is resting, prepare your filling. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, Caesar dressing, grated Parmesan cheese, and halved cherry tomatoes. Toss the ingredients together until the salad is evenly coated with the dressing.

        Wrap It All Up: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean workspace. Spoon a generous portion of the Caesar salad mixture into the center of the tortilla, followed by a layer of the sliced blackened chicken. Carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla, then tightly roll it up from the bottom to securely enclose the delicious filling.

          Serve & Enjoy: Repeat the assembly for the remaining tortillas. For a delightful presentation, slice the wraps in half diagonally. If desired, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley to add a pop of color. Serve your zesty blackened chicken Caesar wraps immediately and enjoy the burst of flavors!
