Ingredients you’ll need
- 2 cups cooked and chopped chicken breast
- 4 large whole wheat tortillas
- 2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup Caesar dressing
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: Croutons for added crunch
How to make this healthy wrap
Start by combining the chopped chicken breast, romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, Parmesan cheese, Caesar dressing, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Toss the mixture until everything is evenly coated with the dressing.
Lay out the whole wheat tortillas on a clean surface. Divide the chicken Caesar salad mixture evenly among the tortillas, leaving some space around the edges for folding.
To roll the wraps, fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll it tightly from one end to the other. Slice each wrap in half diagonally for easy serving or wrap them in foil if you’re taking them on the go.
Tips for the perfect wrap
- Use freshly cooked chicken for the best flavor, or opt for rotisserie chicken for convenience.
- Lightly warm your tortillas before assembling to make them easier to roll without tearing.
- For extra crunch, add a small handful of croutons just before rolling the wraps.
How to store and enjoy later
Wrap each prepared tortilla tightly in foil or plastic wrap to keep it fresh. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days for the best texture and flavor.
To enjoy later, eat the wrap cold or let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving. Avoid reheating, as it may compromise the texture of the greens and dressing.
What to serve alongside this wrap
Pair this wrap with a fresh fruit salad for a light, refreshing contrast. For a heartier option, add a cup of vegetable soup on the side. Crispy baked sweet potato fries also make a great complementary side dish.
