Chicken Caesar Wraps Recipe

Introduction

Chicken Caesar Wraps are a delicious and easy-to-make lunch or light dinner option. Combining crisp romaine, savory chicken, and the classic Caesar flavors, these wraps are perfect for busy days when you want something fresh and satisfying.

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 chopped romaine lettuce, cooked chicken, Caesar dressing, Parmesan cheese, and croutons. Use tongs to toss everything together well. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Taste and add more dressing if desired, then set the mixture aside.
2. Step 2: Warm the tortillas in a large pan over medium heat for about 15 to 30 seconds on each side, just until they’re pliable. Alternatively, you can microwave them between paper towels for 15 to 30 seconds. Place warmed tortillas on a plate and cover with a kitchen towel to keep warm.
3. Step 3: Lay the tortillas on a clean surface. Divide the Caesar salad mixture evenly among them, placing it in the center of each tortilla. Fold in the opposite sides of the tortilla, then roll it up burrito-style. For extra hold, you can insert a toothpick in the center of each wrap. Cut in half if you like, or serve whole.

Tips & Variations

• Use leftover grilled chicken or rotisserie chicken for a quick and flavorful option.
• For a crunchy texture, add extra homemade croutons inside the wrap just before serving.
• Swap flour tortillas for whole wheat or spinach wraps for a different flavor and added nutrition.
• If you prefer a lighter wrap, use Greek yogurt mixed with lemon juice instead of traditional Caesar dressing.

Storage

Store any leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. To prevent the tortillas from getting soggy, keep the salad mixture separate and assemble the wraps just before eating. Reheat wrapped in foil in a low oven if desired, but they are best enjoyed fresh.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of lettuce?

Yes, you can substitute romaine with other crunchy lettuces like iceberg or butter lettuce, though romaine is preferred for its crisp texture and traditional Caesar salad pairing.

What can I use instead of croutons?

If you don’t have croutons, toasted bread cubes or crunchy nuts like sliced almonds can add a similar crunch to your wrap.

Instructions

1. Prepare the Salad Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, cooked chicken, Caesar dressing, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, and homemade croutons. Use tongs to toss the ingredients well until everything is evenly coated with dressing. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Adjust the dressing quantity if desired. Set aside the mixture.
2. Warm the Tortillas: Heat a large pan over medium heat and warm each tortilla for about 15 to 30 seconds per side until they become pliable. Alternatively, warm them in the microwave between paper towels for 15 to 30 seconds. Place the warmed tortillas on a plate and cover with a kitchen towel to keep them soft and warm.
3. Assemble the Wraps: On a clean surface, lay out each warmed tortilla. Divide the Caesar salad mixture evenly among the tortillas, placing the filling in the center. Fold in the opposite sides of each tortilla and then roll them up burrito-style to fully enclose the filling. To secure the wraps, you can insert a toothpick through the center. Cut the wraps in half if preferred or serve whole.

Notes

• You can use grilled, fried, or rotisserie chicken according to your preference or what you have available.
• For added flavor, consider adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the salad mixture.
• Homemade croutons add extra crunch, but store-bought croutons can be used as a shortcut.
• These wraps can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated; warm the tortillas again before assembling for best texture.
• To make it gluten-free, substitute the flour tortillas with gluten-free wraps.
