Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cooked chicken breast, sliced into strips
- 1 cup romaine lettuce, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Caesar dressing
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large flour tortilla
Optional Ingredients
- 1/4 cup croutons (optional)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Start with cooked chicken breast sliced into thin strips or bite-sized pieces. If using raw chicken, season quickly and grill until cooked through, then slice.
- Wash and chop lettuce: Rinse fresh romaine lettuce thoroughly and chop it into bite-sized pieces to keep the wrap crisp and refreshing.
- Toss lettuce with Caesar dressing: In a bowl, combine the chopped lettuce with enough Caesar dressing to lightly coat the leaves for maximum flavor balance.
- Assemble the wrap: Lay a soft tortilla flat and evenly layer the dressed lettuce, chicken slices, and a generous sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. Add croutons or lemon juice if desired.
- Wrap it up: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to fully encase the filling, making it easy to eat on the go.
Notes
- Use warm tortillas for easier wrapping and enhanced flavor.
- Coat lettuce lightly with dressing to avoid sogginess.
- Prep chicken ahead of time to save time when assembling.
- Ensure lettuce is well dried after washing to maintain crispness.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for a stronger, authentic taste.
