Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 2 cups cooked, shredded or grilled chicken breast
Vegetables and Greens:
- 2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
Cheese and Dressing:
- 1/3 cup Caesar dressing
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Wrap Base:
- 4 large tortillas or flatbreads
Optional Topping:
- Croutons for added crunch
Instructions
- Shred the roasted chicken into bite-sized pieces, ensuring uniform texture and consistent flavor distribution.
- Chop crisp romaine lettuce into fine, uniform ribbons for optimal wrap coverage.
- Drizzle Caesar dressing generously over the chicken and lettuce mixture, tossing gently to coat every ingredient evenly.
- Sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese throughout the mixture, creating a rich and tangy profile.
- Warm tortillas for 15-20 seconds on a skillet or griddle at medium heat to enhance pliability and release subtle toasted notes.
- Arrange the chicken and lettuce blend centrally on each tortilla, leaving slight margins for easy rolling.
- Scatter crunchy croutons over the filling to introduce a textural contrast and additional savory element.
- Fold the bottom edge of the tortilla inward, then tightly roll from one side, compressing the filling to create a compact wrap.
- Slice each wrap diagonally at the midpoint, revealing the colorful interior and making them easier to handle.
- Serve immediately to maintain the tortilla’s warmth and preserve the crispness of the croutons.
Notes
- Soften tortillas by heating them briefly in a skillet or microwave to prevent cracking when rolling.
- Choose rotisserie chicken for a quick time-saving option that adds extra flavor and moisture to the wrap.
- Customize the wrap by adding crispy bacon bits or swapping regular Caesar dressing for a lighter Greek yogurt-based version.
- For a low-carb alternative, replace tortillas with large lettuce leaves to create a protein-packed, gluten-free meal option.
