Ingredients:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
2 large flour tortillas
2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Caesar dressing
Instructions:
Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, paprika, black pepper, ground mustard, and ground coriander to create the Cajun seasoning.
Season the chicken breasts with the Cajun seasoning, rubbing it evenly on both sides.
Cook the seasoned chicken breasts for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Let them rest for a few minutes, then slice them into strips.
Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave or on the stove for a few seconds to make them pliable.
Place a tortilla on a flat surface. Arrange a layer of chopped romaine lettuce on the tortilla.
Add the sliced Cajun chicken strips on top of the lettuce.
Sprinkle shredded Parmesan cheese over the chicken.
Drizzle Caesar dressing generously over the filling.
Roll up the tortilla tightly, folding in the sides as you go, to create a wrap.
Repeat the process with the remaining tortilla and ingredients.
Serve the Cajun Chicken Caesar Wraps immediately, or wrap them in foil for later enjoyment.

Secrets and Tips to Achieve the Perfect Cajun Chicken Caesar Wrap:
Marinate the Chicken: For maximum flavor, marinate the chicken breasts in the Cajun seasoning for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This allows the spices to penetrate the meat and infuse it with flavor.
Grill for Smoky Flavor: Grilling the chicken adds a delicious smoky flavor to the wraps. If you don’t have access to a grill, you can use a skillet or grill pan on the stovetop.
Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh romaine lettuce and high-quality Parmesan cheese for the best taste and texture. Crisp lettuce adds a refreshing crunch to the wraps, while freshly grated Parmesan cheese enhances the overall flavor.
Generous Dressing: Don’t skimp on the Caesar dressing! The creamy dressing ties all the flavors together and adds moisture to the wrap. Drizzle it generously over the filling for maximum flavor.
Customize to Taste: Feel free to adjust the Cajun seasoning to suit your taste preferences. You can increase or decrease the amount of spices to make the wraps more or less spicy according to your liking.
By following these tips and secrets, you can create delicious and satisfying Cajun Chicken Caesar Wraps that are bursting with flavor!
