Chicken Caesar Wraps – A Salad That Travels

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Assemble the Wraps:
    • Lay your tortillas flat and add a generous scoop of the chicken mixture in the center of each.
  4. 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.
  5. 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).
  6. Serve and Enjoy:
    • Slice the wrap in half, maybe with a little garnish of extra Parmesan if you’re feeling bougie, and dive in!
