Chicken Caesar Wraps
Description
These Chicken Caesar Wraps start with a salad mixture of chopped romaine lettuce, cooked chicken, creamy Caesar dressing, freshly grated Parmesan, and homemade croutons. The ingredients are tossed to coat evenly and seasoned with salt and pepper for balance.
Warming the flour tortillas briefly softens them, making them easy to roll without cracking. The filling is portioned onto each tortilla, which are folded and rolled burrito-style to encase the salad components securely. The result combines the fresh crunch of romaine with the savory flavor of chicken and dressing, accented by the salty Parmesan and crispy croutons.
The wraps are convenient as a portable meal and work well for packed lunches or quick dinners. They can be served whole or sliced in half and eaten immediately for best texture.
For preparation ease, ingredients can be readied ahead, but assembling and consuming on the same day ensures the tortillas stay pliable and the croutons remain crunchy.
Ingredients
- 3 cups romaine lettuce chopped
- 1 1/2 cups chicken grilled, fried, or rotisserie, chopped; cooked
- 1/3 cup caesar dressing
- 1/3 cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
- 1/2 cup croutons homemade
- salt to taste, kosher salt and freshly ground
- black pepper to taste, kosher salt and freshly ground
- 4 flour tortillas 10-inch, or wraps
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the lettuce, chopped chicken, Caesar dressing, Parmesan cheese, and croutons. Use tongs to toss well. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Taste and add more dressing, if desired. Set aside.
- In a large pan, warm the tortillas over medium heat for about 15 to 30 seconds per side, just until they are pliable. Place on a plate and cover with a kitchen towel to keep them warm. Alternatively, you can warm them in the microwave in between paper towels for 15 to 30 seconds.
- Place the tortillas on a clean surface. Divide the Caesar salad mixture between the flour tortillas, placing it in the center of the tortilla. Fold in opposite sides of each tortilla, then roll up, burrito-style. You can stick a toothpick in the center to help keep them closed. Cut in half or serve the wraps whole.
Notes
- Best consumed the day they are made to maintain tortilla softness and crouton crunch.
- Chicken can be grilled, fried, or rotisserie—choose as preferred.
- Wrap assembly is quick and suitable for meal prep with ingredients prepared in advance.
