Ingredients
Scale
Wrap Ingredients
- 2 large grilled chicken breasts, sliced
- 4 whole-grain tortillas
- 3 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
Salad and Dressing
- 1 cup Caesar dressing
- 1 cup croutons
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
- Cherry tomatoes, halved (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Start by slicing the previously grilled chicken breasts into thin strips or bite-sized pieces to ensure easy eating and even distribution in the wrap.
- Assemble the Wrap Fillings: In a large bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, sliced grilled chicken, croutons, grated Parmesan cheese, and halved cherry tomatoes if using. Add the Caesar dressing and toss everything together until well coated. Season with freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
- Warm the Tortillas: Lightly warm the whole-grain tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave to make them more pliable and easier to fold without tearing.
- Build the Wraps: Lay each warmed tortilla flat and evenly distribute the chicken Caesar salad mixture down the center of each one. Make sure not to overfill for easier wrapping.
- Wrap it Up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll tightly from the bottom up to form a compact, handheld wrap.
- Serve and Enjoy: Cut the wraps in half on the bias if desired and serve immediately to enjoy the fresh and crunchy textures with the savory flavors of the chicken Caesar filling.
Notes
- Use freshly grilled chicken for the best flavor and texture, but leftover grilled chicken works well too.
- You can substitute Caesar dressing with a lighter version or Greek yogurt-based dressing to reduce calories.
- Adding cherry tomatoes is optional but adds a nice burst of color and freshness.
- For an extra crunch, add sliced cucumbers or bell peppers.
- Wraps can be prepared ahead and stored in the refrigerator, but add croutons just before eating to keep them crunchy.
