These wraps are not only tasty but also versatile: pack them for school or work lunches, enjoy poolside, or serve at home for a light dinner. With a few simple prep steps, they come together in no time!
Ingredients (Serves 4)
- 3 cups chopped Romaine lettuce (use Romaine hearts for extra crunch)
- 1 1/2 cups chopped cooked chicken (grilled, fried, or rotisserie)
- 1/3 cup Caesar dressing (homemade or store-bought)
- 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup homemade croutons
- 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Optional Add-Ins:
- Halved grape tomatoes
- Bacon
- Roasted red peppers or artichokes
- Avocado slices
Instructions
- Mix the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the Romaine, chicken, Caesar dressing, Parmesan, and croutons. Toss with tongs until evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper, adjusting dressing as needed.
- Warm the Tortillas: Heat tortillas in a skillet for 15–30 seconds per side until pliable, or microwave between paper towels for 15–30 seconds.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay a tortilla on a clean surface. Place a portion of the salad mixture in the center. Fold in the sides and roll up burrito-style. Secure with a toothpick if desired.
- Serve: Cut in half or serve whole. Enjoy immediately, or pack for lunch!
Tips for Success
- Prep Ahead: Wash and chop lettuce, cook chicken, and make croutons in advance to save time.
- Keep It Crisp: Store prepped lettuce with a paper towel in an airtight container to absorb moisture.
- Storage: Wraps are best eaten the same day. Ingredients can be prepped ahead, but assembling too early can make tortillas soggy.
