Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast or chicken thighs, sliced or shredded Rotisserie chicken works especially well.
- 4 large Flour tortillas or wraps Choose sturdy tortillas that can hold the filling.
- 4 cups Romaine lettuce, chopped Wash and dry thoroughly.
- 1/2 cup Caesar dressing Use sparingly at first.
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated or shredded Can be added according to taste.
- 1 cup Croutons, lightly crushed Crush lightly to spread the crunch.
- to taste Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice Optional, for a brighter flavor.
Optional Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved For added freshness.
- 1 avocado sliced Another layer of flavor.
- 4 slices bacon Cooked and crispy, for bacon Caesar style.
- 1/4 cup red onion, sliced For extra crunch and flavor.
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes Optional, for heat.
Instructions
Preparation
- Slice or shred the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces. If using chilled chicken, let it come close to room temperature for a few minutes, or warm it gently before assembling.
- Wash and dry the romaine thoroughly, then cut it into small, crunchy pieces.
Assembly
- Add the chicken and romaine to a bowl. Drizzle with Caesar dressing and toss until everything is lightly coated.
- Stir in the Parmesan and crushed croutons. Season with black pepper and add a small squeeze of lemon juice if you want a brighter flavor.
- Heat each tortilla briefly in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and flexible.
- Place the Caesar mixture across the center of each tortilla, leaving space around the edges. Avoid overfilling, which can make the wrap difficult to roll.
- Fold in the sides, then roll the tortilla tightly from the bottom upward, enclosing the filling.
- Cut each wrap in half and serve immediately for the best texture.
Notes
For best results, store the chicken, lettuce, dressing, Parmesan, and tortillas separately in airtight containers. Assembled wraps can be refrigerated for several hours when tightly wrapped, although they are best eaten the same day.
