Chicken Caesar Wrap Recipe
Description
Chicken Caesar Wrap blends rotisserie chicken tossed in Caesar salad dressing with crisp romaine and juicy cherry tomatoes, all wrapped in a soft flour tortilla. The addition of shaved Parmesan cheese lends sharp, nutty notes, while whole grain croutons add crunch. The wrap is assembled by layering each component evenly and folding to enclose the filling.
This dish is a convenient way to enjoy classic Caesar salad elements as a portable meal option. The freshness of the lettuce and tomatoes balances the richness of the chicken and dressing. The wraps are designed to be eaten soon after assembly to retain the croutons' texture and prevent sogginess.
For make-ahead lunches, omitting tomatoes and croutons preserves freshness, and layering lettuce first creates a barrier to slow moisture transfer from chicken to the tortilla. Eating within a few hours is recommended to maintain wrap integrity and flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 rotisserie chicken meat removed and shredded (save the bones and skins for stock)
- 2 cups caesar salad dressing homemade or bottled, prepared
- 4 flour tortilla large
- 2 romaine lettuce chopped, heads
- 1 cup cherry tomato halved
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese shaved
- ½ cup whole grain croutons
Instructions
- In a medium-size mixing bowl, mix the chicken and salad dressing until well combined.
- Lay out a tortilla on a cutting board, then layer ¼ of the chopped lettuce, ¼ of the chicken, ¼ of the tomatoes, ¼ of the cheese, and ¼ of the croutons. Wrap the tortilla burrito-style, then serve immediately.
Notes
- For packing ahead, omit cherry tomatoes and croutons to prevent sogginess.
- When assembling for later eating, layer lettuce first to protect the tortilla from moisture.
- Consume wraps within a few hours for best texture and taste.
