Salad Mixture
- 3 cups chopped romaine lettuce
- 1 1/2 cups chopped cooked chicken (grilled, fried, or rotisserie)
- 1/3 cup Caesar dressing
- 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup homemade croutons
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Wraps
- 4 flour tortillas or wraps (10-inch)
- Prepare the Salad Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, cooked chicken, Caesar dressing, Parmesan cheese, and croutons. Use tongs to toss everything together well. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Taste the mixture and add more dressing if you prefer a creamier consistency. Set aside while you warm the tortillas.
- Warm the Tortillas: Heat a large pan over medium heat and warm each tortilla for 15 to 30 seconds per side, just until they become pliable and easy to roll. Alternatively, microwave the tortillas between paper towels for 15 to 30 seconds. Keep the warmed tortillas covered with a kitchen towel to retain heat and softness.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay the warmed tortillas flat on a clean surface. Divide the prepared Caesar salad mixture evenly among the tortillas, placing it in the center of each. Fold in the opposite sides of each tortilla, then roll them up burrito-style. Secure the wraps with a toothpick if desired. Cut the wraps in half or serve them whole, and enjoy!
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for a convenient shortcut and great flavor.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute flour tortillas with gluten-free wraps or large lettuce leaves.
- Homemade croutons add the best crunch, but store-bought are a quick alternative.
- Add extra veggies like sliced tomatoes or avocado for more texture and nutrition.
- These wraps are best served fresh but can be wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
