Description
A portable twist on the classic Caesar salad, combining tender chicken, crisp romaine, and creamy Caesar dressing wrapped in a tortilla.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or chopped (about 280 g / 10 oz)
- 4 large flour tortillas or wraps (one per serving)
- 2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped (about 94 g)
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) Caesar dressing
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (about 50 g)
- 1/4 cup croutons (optional; about 30 g)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- If cooking fresh, season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Sear in a hot skillet with 1 tbsp olive oil for 5–7 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Let rest, then shred or chop.
- In a large bowl, combine cooked chicken, romaine, Parmesan, and Caesar dressing. Toss gently to coat, adding croutons last if using.
- Heat each tortilla for 10–20 seconds per side in a dry skillet or microwave for 10 seconds wrapped in a damp towel.
- Lay a warmed tortilla flat. Spoon about 1/4 of the chicken mixture down the center lengthwise. Fold the sides in, then roll tightly from the bottom.
- Optional: For a toasted finish, grill assembled wraps seam-side down for 1–2 minutes per side until golden.
- Slice each wrap in half on a bias and garnish with cracked black pepper and a sprinkle of extra Parmesan if desired.
Notes
For a lighter version, use Greek yogurt-based Caesar or reduce dressing. Ensure cooked chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) for safety.
