Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 1/2 cups chopped cooked chicken
Vegetables and Greens:
- 3 cups chopped romaine lettuce
Seasoning and Accompaniments:
- 1/3 cup Caesar dressing
- 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup homemade croutons
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Wrap:
- 4 flour tortillas (10-inch)
Instructions
- Prepare the zesty chicken mixture by blending crisp romaine lettuce, shredded cooked chicken, creamy Caesar dressing, grated Parmesan cheese, and crunchy croutons in a spacious mixing bowl. Gently toss ingredients until evenly coated, then enhance with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Activate tortillas by warming them in a skillet over medium heat for 15-30 seconds on each side until they become soft and pliable. Transfer warmed tortillas to a covered dish to maintain temperature and flexibility.
- Distribute the seasoned chicken Caesar filling generously across the center of each tortilla, ensuring an even spread from edge to edge.
- Craft the wrap by folding the tortilla’s opposite sides inward, then roll tightly into a compact burrito-style configuration. Stabilize with a toothpick if needed to prevent unraveling.
- Present the wraps immediately after preparation, either sliced diagonally for elegant serving or served whole for a casual dining experience.
Notes
- Customize protein by swapping chicken with grilled shrimp, tofu, or rotisserie chicken for variety and dietary needs.
- Enhance crunch by toasting homemade or store-bought croutons for deeper flavor and extra texture.
- Make gluten-free by using lettuce wraps instead of tortillas or selecting gluten-free tortilla options.
- Prep ahead by cooking and chilling chicken beforehand, allowing quick assembly during busy weeknights.
