Description
A quick and satisfying lunch upgrade featuring shredded chicken tossed in creamy Caesar dressing, wrapped in warm tortillas with crisp romaine and parmesan cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie or poached)
- Fresh romaine lettuce, chopped into 1-inch pieces
- High-quality creamy Caesar dressing
- Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Large flour tortillas (burrito-sized)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Pinch of black pepper
- Garlic powder (optional)
Instructions
- Shred the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces using two forks.
- In a small bowl, mix Caesar dressing with olive oil, black pepper, and garlic powder.
- Pour the dressing mixture over the shredded chicken and toss to coat evenly. Let sit for 5 minutes.
- Wash, dry, and chop the romaine lettuce into 1-inch pieces.
- Warm tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds per side until pliable.
- Lay a warm tortilla flat and spread dressed chicken down the center.
- Top with chopped romaine lettuce and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla inward and roll tightly from the bottom up.
- For a crispier exterior, place the assembled wrap seam-side down in a warm skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Slice in half diagonally and serve immediately.
Notes
Ensure chicken is well-drained to prevent soggy wraps. Warm tortillas to prevent cracking. Layer lettuce near edges to protect tortilla from moisture. Do not freeze assembled wraps due to lettuce content; freeze chicken mixture separately if needed.
