Ingredients
Scale
Salad Ingredients
- 3 cups chopped romaine lettuce
- 1 1/2 cups chopped grilled, fried, or rotisserie chicken
- 1/3 cup Caesar dressing
- 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup homemade croutons
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Wraps
- 4 (10-inch) flour tortillas
Instructions
- Prepare the Salad: In a large bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, chopped chicken, Caesar dressing, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, and homemade croutons. Toss everything thoroughly to ensure the dressing coats all ingredients evenly. Season the mixture with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
- Warm the Tortillas: Heat the flour tortillas in a skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or microwave them wrapped in a damp paper towel for about 20 seconds. Warming makes the tortillas pliable and easier to fold without tearing.
- Assemble the Wraps: Divide the prepared salad mixture evenly among the warmed tortillas. Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll them up burrito-style to enclose the filling completely. If desired, secure the wraps with toothpicks to prevent them from unrolling.
- Serve: Cut each wrap in half diagonally for easier eating or serve them whole. Enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use grilled, fried, or rotisserie chicken based on your preference or what you have on hand.
- For a lighter option, substitute Caesar dressing with a low-fat or yogurt-based version.
- Homemade croutons add a fresh crunch but store-bought are also fine in a pinch.
- Warm tortillas ensure they fold without cracking and improve the wrap’s texture.
- To make the wraps ahead, keep the salad and tortillas separate until ready to serve to avoid sogginess.
