Description
Culinary magic unfolds with this classic chicken caesar wrap that brings Mediterranean flavors to your lunch table. Fresh ingredients and zesty dressing combine for a satisfying meal you’ll crave again and again.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large tortillas or wraps
- 2 cups cooked, shredded or diced chicken (grilled or rotisserie)
- 2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)
- Optional: Croutons (crushed for added crunch)
Instructions
- Whisk Caesar dressing with shredded chicken, ensuring every morsel is generously coated with tangy flavor.
- Incorporate crisp romaine lettuce and grated Parmesan cheese into the chicken mixture, creating a harmonious blend of textures.
- Sprinkle crushed croutons throughout the filling for an added crunch that elevates the wrap’s complexity.
- Place a tortilla on a clean surface and position the prepared chicken mixture precisely in the center.
- Carefully fold the bottom edge of the tortilla over the filling, then tuck in the sides to create a secure envelope.
- Roll the tortilla tightly from bottom to top, maintaining compact pressure to prevent ingredients from spilling.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the wrap diagonally to create two elegant halves.
- Serve immediately at room temperature to preserve the wrap’s optimal texture and temperature.
Notes
- Swap chicken for grilled tofu or tempeh to create a vegetarian-friendly version that maintains the classic Caesar flavor profile.
- Enhance protein content by adding extra shredded rotisserie chicken or grilled chicken breast for a more substantial meal.
- Use whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas to accommodate different dietary needs without compromising taste and texture.
- Prep ingredients ahead of time and store separately to keep the wrap crisp and prevent soggy tortillas, ensuring maximum freshness when assembling.
