Craving a crunchy romaine salad but don't have the time to sit down? If that sounds familiar, this Caesar wrap is right up your alley. It's got all the right ingredients in a portable package.


serves/makes:
  
ready in:
  under 30 minutes

ingredients

4 plain or flavored flour tortillas (8 inch size)
1 thinly sliced tomato
shredded romaine lettuce
1 1/2 cup chopped cooked chicken
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
bottled Caesar dressing

directions

Place the tortillas on a work surface. Layer tomato, lettuce, chicken, and onion down the center of each tortilla. Drizzle each with some of the Caesar dressing and sprinkle with Parmesan.

Roll up the tortillas and serve immediately. Wraps can be cut in half once rolled up. If desired, roll the wraps in plastic wrap and chill until ready to serve.

recipe tips


Use a generous amount of lettuce for a satisfying crunch.

Balance the flavors by not overloading with dressing; it should complement, not overpower.

For a healthier version, use whole wheat tortillas and a light Caesar dressing.

If packing for a lunch, keep the dressing separate and add it just before eating to keep it from getting soggy.

Experiment with adding different cheeses like feta or mozzarella for a different flavor.

Serve with a side of fruit or a small salad for a complete meal.

If you're making these for a group, label the wraps if using different tortilla flavors or ingredients to cater to various preferences.

common recipe questions


What type of chicken works best for this wrap?

Cooked, chopped chicken breast is ideal for its lean texture and mild flavor. You can also use rotisserie chicken or leftover grilled chicken.

Can I use a different type of lettuce?

Romaine lettuce is preferred for its crunch and classic Caesar salad feel, but you can use iceberg or butter lettuce for a similar crunch.

How do I prevent the wrap from becoming soggy?

To prevent sogginess, avoid over-dressing the salad ingredients and make sure your lettuce is dry. You can also layer the chicken and cheese closest to the tortilla to act as a barrier.

Can I add other ingredients to the wrap?

Consider adding croutons for extra crunch, avocado for creaminess, or bacon bits for a smoky flavor.

How long can these wraps be stored?

If refrigerated in plastic wrap or an airtight container, these wraps can be stored for up to 24 hours. However, they're best eaten fresh.

Can I warm up the wrap?

These wraps are typically served cold, but you can warm the tortilla before assembling for a softer texture.

How do I cut the wrap without it falling apart?

Use a sharp knife and cut the wrap in the middle at a diagonal angle. Cutting it while wrapped in plastic wrap or parchment paper can also help.
