Ingredients you’ll need
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1/2 cup Caesar dressing
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup croutons
- 4 large tortillas or wraps
- Salt and pepper to taste
How to assemble this satisfying wrap
Start by combining the shredded chicken, chopped romaine lettuce, Caesar dressing, and grated Parmesan cheese in a large bowl. Toss everything together until the dressing coats the ingredients evenly.
Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting as needed for your preference. Lay out the tortillas on a flat surface and divide the chicken Caesar mixture evenly among them.
Sprinkle the croutons on top of the mixture to add crunch and texture. Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll it up tightly from the bottom to create a secure wrap.
For a polished presentation, slice each wrap in half diagonally before serving. These wraps are best enjoyed immediately but can also be packed for later.
How to store and enjoy leftovers
If you have leftovers, wrap each prepared tortilla tightly in plastic wrap or foil. Store them in the refrigerator for up to two days.
For the best texture, avoid adding croutons until just before serving, as they may lose their crunch over time.
Simple ingredient substitutions
If you’re out of romaine lettuce, try substituting with spinach or mixed greens for a different flavor and texture. For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free tortillas and croutons to enjoy the same great taste.
Expert tips for perfect results
- Warm the tortillas slightly before assembling to make them more pliable and easier to roll.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for a richer, more authentic flavor.
- To save time, use rotisserie chicken as a quick and flavorful base for the shredded chicken.
