How to Make Chicken Caesar Salad Wraps

Prepare the Caesar Dressing: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup mayonnaise, 1/3 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup freshly shredded Parmesan cheese, 2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice, 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, 1½ teaspoons Worcestershire sauce, and 1 clove minced garlic until everything is well combined and smooth. Set aside in the fridge to chill for a few minutes.
Combine the Salad Ingredients: In a larger bowl, combine 3 cups of chopped or shredded cooked chicken, 1 bag of chopped romaine lettuce, 1/2 cup chopped croutons, 1/4 cup freshly shredded Parmesan cheese, and the Caesar dressing you prepared earlier. Toss everything together until well mixed and coated with dressing.
Wrap it Up: Lay a large flour tortilla flat on a cutting board. Spoon a generous amount of the Caesar salad mixture onto the center, adding some of the chopped tomatoes for freshness. Roll the tortilla up burrito-style, tucking the edges in as you go. Cut the wrap in the center for easy serving, and your Chicken Caesar Salad Wraps are ready to enjoy!

Storing & Reheating

To store your Chicken Caesar Salad Wraps, keep them wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Avoid soggy wraps: If you plan to assemble them ahead of time, keep the dressing separate until you’re ready to eat.
Use a mix of greens: Switch up the romaine for spinach or kale for a different flavor profile and added nutrients.
Don’t overfill: Less is often more; overstuffing can make rolling the wraps tricky.
Fresh ingredients are key: Use the best quality chicken and vegetables you can find for the best flavor.
Customize the toppings: Feel free to add avocado, bacon, or grilled veggies for a twist on this classic wrap.
