Chicken Caesar Wrap
Description
The Chicken Caesar Wrap features thinly sliced, Cajun-seasoned chicken breasts cooked until tender and flavorful. Mixed with chopped romaine lettuce, Parmesan cheese, optional bacon bits, and tossed in Caesar salad dressing with a hint of lemon juice, the filling balances savory, creamy, and slightly tangy notes. Wrapped in warmed flour tortillas, the ingredients meld into a handheld meal that’s easy to eat and satisfying. The diced tomato adds a fresh contrast to the creamy and spiced elements.
The wrap serves well as a convenient lunch or light dinner option, offering protein alongside crisp greens and cheese. It pairs nicely with a simple side or can be accompanied by a light soup or salad for a fuller meal.
To keep the wraps fresh, they can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days. Using store-bought or homemade Cajun seasoning offers flexibility, and real bacon bits or crisped cooked bacon enhance the flavor if you choose to include them.
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breast 6 oz each, boneless skinless
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning or to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 cups romaine lettuce chopped
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese divided, shredded
- 2 tablespoons bacon bits ** optional
- 1 cup caesar salad dressing *** divided
- ½ lemon
- 4 large flour tortillas 10-inch
- 1 Roma tomato diced
Instructions
- With a filet knife, cut the chicken breasts in half horizontally to make 4 thin cutlets, ½-inch thick.
- Season with Cajun seasoning, making sure to cover all of the chicken.
- In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side or until cooked through. Transfer to a plate to rest.
- In a large bowl, add the chopped lettuce, ¼ cup of the parmesan cheese, and bacon bits (if using). Add ¾ cup of dressing and the juice of half a lemon and toss well to combine.
- Chop the chicken.
- Place the tortillas on a plate and top with a damp paper towel. Cover with plastic wrap (or a second plate, inverted) and warm in the microwave for 20 seconds.
- Divide the lettuce mixture over the tortillas, top with the chicken and diced tomato. Drizzle with the remaining dressing and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
- Roll the tortilla, burrito-style, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use either homemade or store-bought Cajun seasoning, or substitute with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder for seasoning the chicken.
- If adding bacon bits, crisp real bacon in the microwave on a paper towel for about 40 seconds for better texture.
- Store prepared wraps in the refrigerator and consume within three days for best freshness.
