Ingredients
The Salad Filling
- 2 cups (280g) cooked chicken, chopped (rotisserie, grilled, or crispy tenders)
- 3 cups (135g) romaine lettuce, chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 2/3 cup (100g) cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup (30g) croutons (lightly crushed if large)
- 1/4 cup (22g) freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup (120ml) Caesar salad dressing
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
The Wrap
- 5 large flour tortillas (burrito size)
Instructions
Toss the Salad
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped chicken, romaine lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, grated Parmesan, croutons, and Caesar dressing.
Season
Add freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Mix
Toss everything together until the ingredients are evenly coated in the dressing.
Prep Tortillas
Lay out the 5 large tortillas on a clean surface. Tip: If tortillas are stiff, microwave them for 10–15 seconds wrapped in a damp paper towel to make them pliable.
Fill
Place a generous spoonful of the salad mixture in a line along the center of each tortilla. Note: Avoid overfilling, or the wrap will be difficult to close.
Roll
Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly like a burrito, keeping the filling tucked inside.
Serve
Secure with toothpicks if needed and serve immediately.
Notes
The “Soggy” Factor: Add the croutons right before you plan to eat. If you assemble these wraps hours in advance, the croutons will soak up the dressing and lose their crunch.
Chop Small: Ensure the lettuce and chicken are chopped into small, bite-sized pieces. Large chunks of lettuce make the wrap lumpy, messy, and difficult to roll tightly.
Warm the Wrap: Cold tortillas tend to crack. Warming them slightly makes them soft and stretchy, ensuring a tight seal without tearing.
Grill It: For a restaurant-style finish, place the rolled wrap seam-side down in a hot skillet for 1–2 minutes to toast the outside and seal the edge.
