Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced (grilled or rotisserie)
Vegetables:
- 2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
Bread and Toppings:
- 2 large flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup croutons, crushed (optional, for crunch)
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
Dressing and Seasoning:
- 1/2 cup Caesar dressing
- Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Gently heat tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and flexible, ensuring easy manipulation without cracking.
- Shred cooled grilled or roasted chicken into bite-sized pieces for uniform texture and even distribution.
- Chop crisp romaine lettuce into uniform ribbons to create a fresh, crunchy base for the wrap filling.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, chopped lettuce, creamy Caesar dressing, grated parmesan cheese, and crunchy croutons.
- Thoroughly toss ingredients until every morsel is evenly coated with tangy Caesar dressing, ensuring balanced flavor in each bite.
- Place a generous portion of the mixed filling in the center of each warmed tortilla, leaving sufficient space around edges for easy folding.
- Carefully fold the tortilla sides inward, creating a tight seal to prevent ingredients from spilling out during rolling.
- Roll the tortilla firmly from bottom to top, compressing the filling gently to maintain structural integrity.
- Cut each wrap diagonally in half for elegant presentation and easier handling.
- Serve immediately for optimal freshness, or wrap individually in foil for convenient portable meals that maintain temperature and texture.
Notes
- Toast tortillas gently to enhance flexibility and prevent tearing when wrapping.
- Use rotisserie chicken for a quick, time-saving protein option that adds extra flavor.
- Customize wrap by adding crispy bacon bits or swapping lettuce for fresh spinach leaves for variety.
- Prep ingredients ahead and store separately to maintain crispness and prevent soggy wraps.
