Chicken Caesar Wraps Recipe

Introduction

Chicken Caesar Wraps are a quick and satisfying meal that combines tender chicken, crisp romaine, and classic Caesar flavors wrapped in a soft tortilla. Perfect for lunch or a light dinner, these wraps are easy to prepare and full of delicious textures and tastes.

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 and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 4 flour tortillas or wraps (10-inch)

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a large bowl, combine the romaine lettuce, chopped chicken, Caesar dressing, Parmesan cheese, and croutons. Use tongs to toss everything together well. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust dressing if needed and set aside.
2. Step 2: Warm the tortillas in a large pan over medium heat for about 15 to 30 seconds per side until they become pliable. Keep them warm by placing on a plate and covering with a kitchen towel. Alternatively, warm tortillas in the microwave between paper towels for 15 to 30 seconds.
3. Step 3: Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface. Evenly divide the Caesar salad mixture among the tortillas, placing it in the center. Fold in the opposite sides of each tortilla, then roll them up burrito-style. Use a toothpick to secure if desired. Cut the wraps in half or serve whole.

Tips & Variations

• For extra crunch, add sliced cucumbers or shredded carrots.
• Substitute the Caesar dressing with a lighter yogurt-based dressing for a healthier option.
• Use whole wheat or spinach tortillas to add more nutrients and flavor.
• Leftover cooked chicken works perfectly, making this recipe great for using up fridge staples.

Storage

Store any leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To keep the wraps from becoming soggy, consider wrapping them tightly in plastic wrap or foil. Reheat gently in a warm pan or eat cold for best texture.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use other types of lettuce for this wrap?

Yes, other crisp lettuces like iceberg or butter lettuce can be used if romaine isn’t available. Just make sure to chop them finely for easy wrapping.

Is it better to warm the tortillas before assembling?

Warming tortillas makes them more flexible and easier to roll without tearing. However, if you prefer a cold wrap, you can assemble and serve without warming.

Chicken Caesar Wraps

• 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

1. Prepare the Salad Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, cooked chicken, Caesar dressing, Parmesan cheese, and homemade croutons. Use tongs to toss all the ingredients thoroughly so that everything is evenly coated with the dressing. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Taste the mixture and add more dressing if desired. Set the mixture aside.
2. Warm the Tortillas: Heat a large pan over medium heat and warm each flour tortilla for about 15 to 30 seconds per side to make them soft and pliable. Alternatively, you can microwave the tortillas between paper towels for 15 to 30 seconds. Once warmed, place them on a plate and cover with a kitchen towel to keep warm and prevent drying out.
3. Assemble the Wraps: Lay the warmed tortillas on a clean flat surface. Divide the prepared Caesar salad mixture evenly among the tortillas, placing it in the center of each. Fold the opposite sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up burrito-style to enclose the filling securely. You can insert a toothpick into the center of each wrap to hold it closed if needed.
4. Serve: Cut the wraps in half diagonally for easier handling or serve them whole. Enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

• You can use any cooked chicken you prefer – grilled, fried, or rotisserie.
• If you like a crispier wrap, you can lightly toast the wraps in the pan after assembling.
• Adjust the amount of Caesar dressing to your taste preference.
• For a healthier option, use whole wheat tortillas or low-fat Caesar dressing.
• Homemade croutons add a fresh crunch, but store-bought croutons can be used for convenience.
