Ingredients
Scale
Salad Ingredients
- 3 cups chopped romaine lettuce
- 1 1/2 cups chopped grilled, fried, or rotisserie chicken
- 1/3 cup Caesar dressing
- 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup homemade croutons
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Wrap Ingredients
- 4 (10-inch) flour tortillas
Instructions
- Prepare the Salad: In a large bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, chopped chicken, Caesar dressing, Parmesan cheese, and homemade croutons. Toss everything well to evenly coat the ingredients with the dressing. Season the salad with salt and freshly ground black pepper to your taste.
- Warm the Tortillas: Heat the tortillas in a dry pan over medium heat for about 20-30 seconds on each side or microwave them for 15-20 seconds until they become warm and pliable, making them easier to roll up without tearing.
- Assemble the Wraps: Evenly divide the prepared salad mixture among the warmed tortillas, placing the filling in the center of each. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly burrito-style. Use toothpicks to secure the wraps if needed to prevent them from unrolling.
- Serve: Slice the wraps in half diagonally if desired, or serve them whole. Enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for a quick shortcut and extra flavor.
- Homemade croutons add a crunchy texture but store-bought ones can be used for convenience.
- To make the wraps gluten free, substitute with gluten-free tortillas.
- Feel free to add extra veggies like sliced tomatoes or cucumbers for added freshness.
- Wraps can be made ahead and refrigerated; warm slightly before serving.
