Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Filling
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded (about 1 pound)
- 1 cup romaine lettuce, chopped
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- ½ cup Caesar dressing
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Wraps
- 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
- Optional: croutons (for added crunch)
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, chopped romaine lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, grated Parmesan cheese, and Caesar dressing. Mix well so all the ingredients are evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste to enhance the flavors.
- Warm the Tortillas: Heat a skillet or grill over medium heat. Place each tortilla in the skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until slightly toasted and warm. This makes them more pliable and adds a light toasted flavor.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay each warm tortilla flat on a cutting board. Spoon a generous portion of the chicken Caesar mixture onto the center of each tortilla, distributing the filling evenly among the four.
- Roll the Wraps: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up from the bottom to the top, forming a tight wrap. To keep the wrap secure, you can use a toothpick or wrap it in parchment paper for easy handling.
- Serve: Slice each wrap in half diagonally to make them easier to eat. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor. Optionally, add croutons inside the wrap before rolling for an extra crunchy bite.
Notes
- For a healthier option, use whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas.
- Grill the wraps after rolling for a warm, crispy exterior if preferred.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days.
- Use rotisserie chicken for a time-saving shortcut.
- Adjust Caesar dressing amount to your taste preference for creaminess.
