Description
A quick, no-cook lunch idea that comes together in about five minutes using rotisserie or leftover chicken, romaine lettuce, and Caesar dressing for a protein-packed, customizable wrap.
Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas (8-inch or 10-inch)
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
- 1/2 cup Caesar dressing
- 1 head romaine lettuce, chopped into 1-inch pieces (approx. 2 cups)
- 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan or Pecorino cheese
- 1/4 cup croutons (optional)
- Black pepper, freshly cracked
Instructions
- Shred or dice the cooked chicken and place it in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the Caesar dressing to the chicken and toss gently until evenly coated.
- Add the shredded cheese and a generous crack of black pepper to the chicken mixture; toss once more and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Wash, dry thoroughly, and chop the romaine lettuce into 1-inch pieces.
- Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface.
- Spoon about 1/2 cup of the chicken mixture onto the center of the tortilla.
- Top with a handful of chopped romaine lettuce and croutons (if using).
- Fold the sides of the tortilla inward and roll it up tightly from the bottom.
- Wrap the finished wrap tightly in parchment paper or foil to keep it fresh and intact.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
Notes
Ensure lettuce is completely dry to prevent soggy wraps. Use parchment paper instead of plastic wrap to allow the tortilla to breathe. For a cheese barrier to keep the tortilla crisp, sprinkle a thin layer of Parmesan directly on the tortilla before adding the chicken. These are best eaten cold or at room temperature.
