Servings: 2 wraps
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes (if cooking chicken from scratch)
Ingredients
- 2 large flour tortillas (or your favorite wrap)
- 1 ½ cups cooked shredded chicken (leftover roast chicken works wonders)
- ½ cup Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade—no judgment here)
- 1 cup romaine lettuce, chopped (for that classic Caesar vibe)
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (extra cheese? Yes, please!)
- 1/3 cup croutons (because crunch > sogginess)
- Optional: a squeeze of lemon juice (for that zesty touch)
Instructions
- Get the Chicken Ready:
- If you’re starting with cooked chicken, great! If not, quickly cook some chicken breasts (seasoned with salt and pepper), shred it with a fork, and set it aside to cool. You could also use a rotisserie chicken to skip straight to the good part.
- Mix It Up:
- In a large bowl, toss the shredded chicken with Caesar dressing until it’s all nicely coated. Add a squeeze of lemon juice for an extra fresh zing if you’re feeling fancy.
- Assemble the Wraps:
- Lay your tortillas flat and add a generous scoop of the chicken mixture in the center of each.
- Layer the Good Stuff:
- Top the chicken with chopped romaine lettuce, Parmesan cheese, and croutons. Don’t skimp on the croutons—this is where the magic happens.
- Wrap It Like a Pro:
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly, like you’re wrapping a burrito (but with way more flair).
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Slice the wrap in half, maybe with a little garnish of extra Parmesan if you’re feeling bougie, and dive in!
Do’s and Don’ts
DO:
- Use leftover chicken or rotisserie chicken—it saves time and tastes better.
- Get creative with toppings—bacon bits or avocado can take these wraps to the next level.
- Wrap tightly, so none of the deliciousness falls out mid-bite.
DON’T:
- Overfill the wrap—it’ll just be a mess. Keep it manageable.
- Forget the croutons—they’re the crispy, crunchy charm of the wrap!
- Let it sit too long—wraps are best fresh to keep the crunch intact.
Variations:
- Spicy Caesar: Add a drizzle of sriracha or hot sauce to your dressing for a spicy kick.
- Buffalo Chicken Caesar Wraps: Swap out the Caesar dressing for buffalo sauce for a bold twist.
- Avocado Twist: Add sliced avocado for creaminess and extra flavor.
Chicken Caesar Wraps are the perfect lunch (or dinner) for when you want all the flavors of a Caesar salad, but you’re too busy to sit with a fork. It’s easy, portable, and totally tasty. 🌯🧀🍗
