Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups cooked, shredded or grilled chicken
- 2 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup chopped romaine lettuce
Cheese and Dressing:
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/3 cup (80 ml) Caesar dressing
Optional Topping:
- 1/4 cup (40 g) croutons
Instructions
- Gently heat tortillas for 10-15 seconds to enhance pliability and prevent cracking during wrapping.
- Apply a generous stripe of Caesar dressing vertically along the center of each tortilla, ensuring even coverage.
- Systematically arrange grilled chicken strips across the dressing, creating a protein-rich foundation.
- Sprinkle crisp romaine lettuce over the chicken, providing a fresh, crunchy texture.
- Generously dust Parmesan cheese across the lettuce layer, adding a tangy, salty dimension.
- Scatter crunchy croutons along the cheese, introducing additional textural contrast.
- Carefully fold the bottom edge of the tortilla upward, then tightly roll from one side, compressing ingredients inward.
- Secure the wrap by pressing the seam to maintain structural integrity.
- Slice diagonally to create two elegant halves, revealing the layered interior.
- Serve immediately while ingredients remain crisp, or wrap individually in aluminum foil for convenient transportation.
Notes
- Gently warm tortillas for maximum flexibility and easier rolling, preventing potential cracking.
- Use room temperature chicken to ensure even dressing distribution and consistent flavor throughout the wrap.
- Add extra crunch by toasting croutons briefly before adding them to enhance their texture and bring out a deeper, nuttier taste.
- Consider using rotisserie chicken for a quick time-saving option that adds rich, pre-seasoned flavor to your wrap.
