Ingredient Notes

The main ingredients for this recipe are 1 cup of cooked chicken (you can use rotisserie or leftover chicken), 2 tablespoons of Caesar dressing (brands like Ken’s or Hidden Valley work well), 1 pound of romaine lettuce (fresh and crispy is key), and 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese (use fresh for the best flavor). Feel free to substitute the chicken with grilled tofu for a vegetarian option.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Add the romaine lettuce, Caesar dressing, and grated Parmesan cheese into the bowl, mixing everything until well combined.
  2. Lay out your tortillas and evenly distribute the chicken Caesar mixture onto each one.
  3. Roll the tortillas tightly, slice them in half, and serve immediately for a fresh and delicious lunch.

Things I’ve Learned

It’s essential to use fresh romaine to maintain crunch. If you’re prepping in advance, store the mixture and tortillas separately to prevent sogginess. These wraps can be made a day ahead and stored in the fridge. Just remember to keep the dressing separate until you’re ready to eat. They also reheat well, but I recommend enjoying them cold for the best texture.

FAQs

Q: Can I substitute any of the ingredients?
