Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3 cups chopped romaine lettuce
- 1 1/2 cups chopped cooked chicken (grilled, fried, or rotisserie)
- 1/3 cup Caesar dressing
- 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup homemade croutons
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 4 flour tortillas or wraps, 10-inch
Instructions
- Make the filling: In a large bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, cooked chicken, Caesar dressing, Parmesan cheese, and croutons. Toss everything well using tongs to evenly coat the ingredients. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to your preference. Taste and add more dressing if needed. Set the mixture aside.
- Warm the tortillas: Heat a large pan over medium heat and warm each tortilla for about 15 to 30 seconds on each side until pliable. Alternatively, you can microwave the tortillas between paper towels for 15 to 30 seconds. Keep the warmed tortillas covered with a kitchen towel to maintain softness.
- Assemble the wraps: Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface. Divide the Caesar salad mixture evenly among the tortillas, placing the filling in the center. Fold in the opposite sides, then roll up the tortilla burrito-style. Use a toothpick to secure each wrap if needed. Cut the wraps in half or serve whole as preferred.
Notes
- These wraps are best enjoyed fresh on the day they are made for optimal texture.
- You can prep the chicken, lettuce, and croutons ahead of time to speed up assembly.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute flour tortillas with gluten-free wraps.
- Use homemade or store-bought Caesar dressing depending on preference and convenience.
- Adding a squeeze of lemon juice to the filling can brighten the flavors further.
