Ingredients
Scale
Salad 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
Wraps
- 4 flour tortillas or wraps (10-inch)
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
