Ingredients

• 2 large flour tortillas
• 1 cup grilled chicken breast, sliced

• 1/4 cup Caesar dressing
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: cherry tomatoes, halved
• Optional: croutons for added crunch

How to Make Chicken Caesar Wrap

1. Start by heating your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. If you haven’t already grilled your chicken, season it with salt and pepper and grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Allow it to rest for a few minutes before slicing.
2. While the chicken is resting, prepare the romaine lettuce by washing and chopping it into bite-sized pieces.
3. In a large bowl, combine the chopped lettuce, sliced grilled chicken, Caesar dressing, and grated Parmesan cheese. Toss everything together until the chicken and lettuce are well-coated.
4. Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Divide the chicken Caesar mixture evenly between the two tortillas, placing it in the center of each.
5. For added flavor and texture, sprinkle optional cherry tomatoes and croutons over the chicken mixture.
6. Fold in the sides of the tortillas and then roll them up tightly from the bottom. Slice each wrap in half diagonally for easy eating.
7. Serve immediately, or wrap tightly in foil or parchment paper for a delicious lunch on the go!

Tips for the Best Results

• Use leftover grilled chicken or rotisserie chicken to save time.
• For a creamier texture, add extra Caesar dressing as desired.
• Toast the tortillas on the grill for a few seconds before filling for a warm, slightly crispy wrap.
• Keep the wraps tightly wrapped in foil or plastic wrap if you’re preparing them ahead of time.

Easy Variations

• Swap out the grilled chicken for sliced turkey or even tofu for a vegetarian option.
• Add sliced cucumbers, bell peppers, or avocado for extra crunch and flavor.
• Use spinach or whole wheat tortillas for a healthier twist.

What to Serve With It

• A side of fresh fruit for a refreshing contrast.
• Baked sweet potato fries for a satisfying crunch.
• A light soup, like tomato basil, to complement the wrap.
• A simple green salad dressed with lemon vinaigrette.

Storage and Reheating

Chicken Caesar Wraps are best enjoyed fresh, but they can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or foil to keep them from drying out. To reheat, you can warm them in a skillet over low heat until heated through, or microwave them for 30 seconds to 1 minute, depending on your microwave’s power.
