You will adore these Chicken Caesar Wraps if you enjoy traditional Caesar salad. This is a quick and easy lunch or dinner wrap that combines all of the classic Caesar salad ingredients with chicken and wraps them in a tortilla.
Ingredients
For a nice crunch and crispness, try using Romaine hearts instead of regular lettuce. Cut up your favorite cooked chicken. You can use rotisserie chicken, grilled chicken, or fried chicken. This is a fantastic way to use up chicken scraps. Caesar dressing: I suggest making my homemade Caesar dressing for the wraps because it’s the best. You can use your favorite store-bought dressing if you’re pressed for time. Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese! Homemade croutons: These give the wraps a pleasant crunch and are essential for Caesar salad. To make them easier to bite into in the wrap, you can slightly reduce the size of the croutons. Make sure to use 10-inch tortillas or wraps so they are easy to roll up.
How to Prepare Caesar Wraps with Chicken
Combine the chopped chicken, lettuce, croutons, Parmesan cheese, and Caesar dressing in a big bowl. Toss well with tongs. Add salt and pepper to taste. If desired, taste and add more dressing. Put aside. To make working with the tortillas easier, warm them up. Heat the tortillas in a big skillet over medium heat for 15 to 30 seconds on each side, or until they are soft. To keep them warm, put them on a plate and cover with a kitchen towel. As an alternative, you can microwave them for 15 to 30 seconds between paper towels. Lay the tortillas out on a spotless surface. Spoon the Caesar salad mixture in the middle of each flour tortilla. Each tortilla should be folded in opposite directions before being rolled up like a burrito. To keep them closed, you can insert a toothpick in the middle. Serve the wraps whole or cut in half.
Differences
Add chopped tomatoes or grape tomatoes cut in half. Add the cooked bacon to the salad after chopping it up. Artichokes or roasted red peppers make excellent additions. Yum, add avocado! Use a wrap or tortilla made of whole wheat or spinach. Although they are a staple of Caesar salad, you can omit the croutons. To make them easier to bite into, you can also crush them up. For dipping, serve extra Caesar dressing on the side!
Serving Recommendations
You can eat these Caesar wraps for lunch or dinner. These side dishes complement the wraps! Pasta salad, cucumber salad, watermelon salad, sweet potato fries or wedges, and garlic parmesan potato wedges.
How to Keep Things Safe
The wraps taste their best the day they are made. Keep in the fridge for 6 to 8 hours in an airtight container. You can prepare it in the morning and eat it for lunch or dinner. If the wraps are wrapped for more than eight hours, they will become soggy.
Prepare Ahead of Time
The ingredients can be prepared ahead of time. If you have the ingredients in the refrigerator, you will be well on your way when it comes time to make your wraps! You can store the Caesar dressing in the refrigerator for up to a week. For up to five days, the homemade croutons can be stored on the counter in an airtight container. The Romaine lettuce can be washed and chopped ahead of time. To aid in the lettuce’s absorption of moisture, place a paper towel inside the bag or container. This will prolong the crispness and freshness of the lettuce. Cooked chicken can be kept in the refrigerator for up to four days in an airtight container.
