Description
A classic wrap combining Caesar salad flavors with tender chicken, making it the perfect option for a quick, filling meal.
Ingredients
2 cups cooked chicken breast, chopped or shredded
4 large flour tortillas (10 inches)
2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
½ cup Caesar dressing (regular or light, as preferred)
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
¼ cup croutons, crushed (optional, for extra crunch)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for grilling wraps)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: If using raw chicken, season it with salt and pepper and cook in a skillet over medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil until fully cooked, about 5–7 minutes per side. Chop or shred the cooked chicken.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the chopped chicken, Caesar dressing, and Parmesan cheese. Toss until the chicken is well coated with dressing.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay each tortilla flat. Spoon about ½ cup of the Caesar chicken mixture into the center, then add a handful of chopped romaine lettuce and a sprinkle of crushed croutons for extra texture.
Ensuring the filling is secure requires folding the tortilla’s sides inside and then securely rolling it from the bottom up.
- Optional – Grill the Wraps: For added flavor and a crispier texture, lightly brush each wrap with olive oil and grill on a hot pan or skillet for 2–3 minutes per side.
- Serve: Slice each wrap in half and serve immediately, or wrap in foil for a portable meal.
Notes
For a lighter option, use whole-wheat tortillas and a light Caesar dressing.
To make it gluten-free, substitute gluten-free tortillas and double-check your dressing ingredients.
