Ingredients
Scale
Salad Mix
- 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
Wraps
- 4 flour tortillas or wraps (10-inch)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken Caesar Salad Mix: In a large bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, cooked chicken pieces, Caesar dressing, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, and homemade croutons. Use tongs to toss everything together thoroughly, ensuring the dressing coats all the ingredients evenly. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper according to your taste. Taste the mixture and add more dressing if desired. Set the mixture aside.
- Warm the Tortillas: Heat a large pan over medium heat. Warm each flour tortilla for 15 to 30 seconds on each side until they become pliable and easy to roll. Alternatively, you can use the microwave by placing the tortillas between paper towels and warming them for 15 to 30 seconds. Keep the warmed tortillas covered with a kitchen towel to maintain their softness and warmth.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay the warmed tortillas on a clean surface. Evenly divide the prepared chicken Caesar salad mixture among the tortillas, placing it in the center of each one. Fold in the opposite sides of the tortillas and then roll them up burrito-style to enclose the filling. To help keep them tightly wrapped, you may insert a toothpick through the center. Serve the wraps whole or cut in half as preferred.
Notes
- You can substitute store-bought croutons if you don’t have homemade available.
- For a healthier version, use whole wheat or low-carb tortillas.
- Adjust the amount of Caesar dressing to make the wraps moister or lighter according to your preference.
- Grilled or rotisserie chicken works best for tender, flavorful filling.
- Serve immediately for the best texture; the wraps may become soggy if stored for too long.
