For the wraps
- 4 large flour tortillas 10-inch diameter, whole wheat option available
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast shredded or diced (rotisserie chicken works perfectly)
- 2 cups romaine lettuce chopped finely
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated
- 1/4 cup croutons slightly crushed (optional for added crunch)
For the Caesar dressing
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise Greek yogurt for a lighter alternative
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 anchovy fillets minced (optional, or 1 teaspoon anchovy paste)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese finely grated
In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, black pepper, and anchovies (if using). Whisk thoroughly until smooth.
Slowly drizzle in olive oil while continuing to whisk, creating an emulsion. Fold in the Parmesan cheese and set aside.
If you're not using rotisserie chicken, season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook in a skillet over medium heat for 6-7 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let rest for 5 minutes before shredding or dicing.
Briefly warm each tortilla in a dry skillet for 10-15 seconds per side, or wrap all four in damp paper towels and microwave for 30 seconds.
Lay each warmed tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread approximately 2 tablespoons of Caesar dressing in the center, leaving a 1-inch border.
Layer with 1/2 cup of chopped romaine, followed by 1/2 cup of chicken, 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese, and a sprinkle of crushed croutons if using.
Fold the bottom edge of each tortilla up and over the filling. Fold in both sides, then continue rolling from the bottom until sealed.
If serving immediately, slice diagonally to showcase the colorful filling.
Pro tip: Make the dressing up to three days ahead for deeper flavor development and quicker assembly on busy days.
For meal prep enthusiasts, cook extra chicken on Sunday to use throughout the week in various recipes.
Fully assembled wraps can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours when wrapped tightly in parchment paper then aluminum foil.
For a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt for mayonnaise to reduce calories by 30% while adding 6g of protein per wrap.
