🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: If using raw chicken breasts, season them with salt, pepper, and a touch of garlic powder. Grill them, pan-sear them, or bake them until fully cooked. Let cool slightly, then dice into bite-sized pieces. Pro-tip: if you're feeling lazy (we all have those days!) grab a rotisserie chicken from the store and shred it up!
- Make the Caesar Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. If you like a tangier dressing, add a bit more lemon juice. Don't skimp on the Parmesan – it really makes a difference!
- Prep the Lettuce: Wash and dry the romaine lettuce leaves. Chop them into smaller, bite-sized pieces. You want them to be easy to eat in the wrap, no one wants a giant lettuce leaf hanging out of their mouth, do they?.
- Combine the Salad Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the diced chicken, chopped romaine lettuce, and Caesar dressing. Gently toss until everything is evenly coated. Add croutons just before serving to prevent them from getting soggy.
- Warm the Tortillas: Lightly warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them more pliable. This prevents them from tearing when you roll them up. Trust me, it's a small step that makes a big difference.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon a generous amount of the Chicken Caesar Salad mixture onto the center of the tortilla. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly, burrito-style. Be careful not to overfill the wrap, or it will be difficult to roll up and may fall apart.
- Serve Immediately: Cut the wraps in half diagonally, if desired, and serve immediately. Garnish with extra Parmesan cheese or a sprinkle of black pepper, if you are feeling fancy! These are best enjoyed fresh, while the croutons are still crunchy and the tortillas are warm.
📝 Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dressing.
- Add bacon bits.
