  • 2 tbsp dijon mustard Offers a zesty kick.
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar Provides a sweet and tangy note.
  • 1 tsp garlic powder Aromatic and savory, elevating the dressing.
  • 5 to 6 dashes Worcestershire sauce Enhances the umami flavor.
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt Balances the seasoning.
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper For additional seasoning.
For the Wraps
  • 1 heart of romaine, chopped (6 to 8 cups) Crisp and refreshing greens.
  • 1 1/4 c freshly grated parmesan cheese Nutty and sharp, adding a creamy texture.
  • 4 (12-inch) whole-wheat flour tortillas Soft and sturdy for wrapping.

Method
 

Cooking the Chicken
  1. In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the bite-sized chicken pieces along with seasoned salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Set aside once done.
Making the Dressing
  1. In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, kosher salt, and the remaining ½ teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well until fully incorporated.
Tossing the Lettuce
  1. Add the chopped romaine lettuce to the dressing and toss until the greens are well-coated in the creamy mixture. Next, add ¾ cup of the freshly grated parmesan cheese and toss again to ensure even distribution.
Assembling the Wraps
  1. Lay out the whole-wheat tortillas flat on a clean surface. On each tortilla, place a quarter of the dressed romaine mixture, followed by a portion of the cooked chicken and halved grape tomatoes. Finally, sprinkle each wrap with 2 tablespoons of the remaining parmesan cheese.
Rolling the Tortillas
  1. Tightly roll up each tortilla, ensuring to tuck in the sides as you go to fully enclose the filling. Use a sharp knife to slice each wrap in half on a diagonal angle, showcasing the colorful filling inside.

Notes

For baking, season the chicken and bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 20-25 minutes instead of frying. You can also customize the dressing to your taste and add extra crunch with croutons or nuts.
