Equipment

  • 1 Chef’s Knife
  • 1 Cutting Board
  • 1 Large Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Set Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • 1 Nonstick Skillet (optional, for toasting wraps)

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked chicken chopped or shredded
  • 3 cups chopped romaine lettuce
  • ⅔ cup halved cherry tomatoes
  • ¼ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup Caesar-style salad dressing
  • ½ cup crunchy croutons
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 5 large flour tortillas or whole wheat, if preferred

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the chopped chicken, romaine lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, Parmesan cheese, and croutons.
    This forms the flavorful and textured base of your wrap.
  • Add the Dressing: Drizzle the Caesar dressing evenly over the mixture.
    Using tongs or clean hands, toss the ingredients thoroughly to ensure everything is well-coated. Add a few turns of freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  • Fill the Tortillas: Lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface.
    Spoon a generous portion of the Caesar chicken mixture in a horizontal line about 1–2 inches from the edge closest to you, leaving room on the sides for folding.
  • Wrap It Up: Fold the sides of the tortilla in slightly, then roll the tortilla tightly from the bottom up, tucking in the filling as you go.
    Secure each wrap with a toothpick if needed, especially if preparing ahead or transporting.
  • Serve or Store: Serve immediately for a fresh crunch or wrap tightly in parchment paper or foil for a lunchbox-friendly option.
    Optional: lightly toast the wraps in a skillet for added warmth and crispness.

Notes

  • Make It Lighter: Use a yogurt-based Caesar dressing and whole wheat tortillas to reduce calories and boost fiber.
  • Meal Prep Friendly: Store the filling separately from the tortillas to keep everything fresh. Assemble just before eating.
  • Chicken Options: Rotisserie chicken, grilled chicken breast, or leftover roasted chicken all work great here.
  • Add-Ins: For extra crunch, try adding shredded carrots or sliced cucumbers. Craving more flavor? A splash of lemon juice brightens it up beautifully.
  • Vegan Adaptation: Swap chicken with grilled tofu or chickpeas and use a dairy-free Caesar dressing.
