Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- Cooked Chicken Breast – 1 cup, sliced thin
- Romaine Lettuce – 1 cup, chopped
- Caesar Dressing – 2 tablespoons
- Parmesan Cheese – 2 tablespoons, grated or shaved
- Flour Tortilla Wraps – 1 large
- Optional Croutons – 1/4 cup, crushed
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Begin by cooking your chicken breast if not pre-cooked. Season lightly with salt and pepper and cook over medium heat until fully cooked and juicy, then slice into thin strips suitable for wrapping.
- Assemble the Ingredients: Wash and chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Grate or shave fresh Parmesan cheese, and if desired, crush croutons into smaller bits for easy layering inside the wrap.
- Dress the Salad Components: In a bowl, combine the chopped lettuce with Caesar dressing, tossing gently to coat the leaves evenly without making them soggy.
- Build the Wrap: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Layer the dressed lettuce, sliced chicken, Parmesan, and croutons near one edge, then carefully roll the tortilla into a tight, secure wrap.
- Serve or Pack: Cut the wrap in half diagonally for a stunning presentation or wrap tightly in foil or parchment paper if taking it on the go.
Notes
- Use Warm Tortillas: Warming the wrap slightly makes it more pliable and easier to roll.
- Keep Lettuce Crisp: Toss the lettuce with dressing just before assembling to avoid sogginess.
- Balance Ingredients: Distribute the chicken and dressing evenly to enjoy every bite fully.
- Choose Quality Dressing: Homemade or high-quality Caesar dressing greatly enhances flavor depth.
- Wrap Tightly: Rolling firmly but gently prevents filling from falling out during eating or transport.
