Creamy Chicken Caesar Wrap Recipe
Introduction
The Chicken Caesar Wrap is a quick and delicious meal perfect for lunch or a light dinner. Combining tender cooked chicken, crisp romaine lettuce, and creamy Caesar dressing wrapped in a soft tortilla, it’s both satisfying and easy to prepare.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked chicken, sliced or shredded
- 1 cup romaine lettuce, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Caesar dressing
- 2 large wraps or tortillas
Instructions
- Step 1: Cook the chicken thoroughly by grilling, baking, or pan-frying until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Let it rest briefly, then slice or shred as desired.
- Step 2: Lay out the wraps and evenly distribute the cooked chicken and chopped romaine lettuce over each. Drizzle Caesar dressing on top.
- Step 3: Carefully roll the wraps, folding in the sides to keep the filling inside, and secure if needed. Serve immediately.
Tips & Variations
- For extra flavor, add grated Parmesan cheese or crispy bacon bits before wrapping.
- Use grilled chicken seasoned with garlic and herbs to enhance the taste.
- Swap out Caesar dressing for a lighter yogurt-based dressing for a healthier option.
- Warm the wraps slightly before assembling to make them more pliable.
Storage
Store any leftover wraps wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. For best texture, it is recommended to prepare wraps fresh, as the lettuce can become soggy when stored. Reheat wrapped chicken separately if desired, then reassemble with fresh lettuce and dressing.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
