CHICKEN CAESAR SALAD WRAPS

Chicken Caesar salad wraps are an easy, no oven dinner, that can be made ahead of time if needed. We love wraps of all kinds in my family. My kids love that they can hold their food and I love that I don't have to turn on the oven for these. 

Our other favorites wraps are these Santa Fe chicken salad wraps. A delicious chicken salad rolled up in a flour tortilla and then topped with lettuce, tomato, and avocado slices.

INGREDIENTS NEEDED FOR CHICKEN CAESAR SALAD WRAPS

• Easy Homemade Caesar Salad Dressing

  • No anchovies in this recipe! Instead the recipe uses Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard too give it that classic & tangy Caesar salad dressing taste. 
    • Mayonnaise
    • Olive Oil - I use extra virgin 'light tasting' olive oil.
    • Shredded Parmesan Cheese
    • Fresh Lemon Juice
    • Dijon Mustard
    • Worcestershire Sauce
    • Garlic

Cooked Chicken - This can be shredded or chopped. Just make sure it's cooked. Use a rotisserie chicken to make this recipe really easy! 

Romaine Lettuce - Just pick up a bag of chopped romaine lettuce from the produce section of the grocery store.

Croutons

Chopped Tomatoes

Shredded Parmesan Cheese

Large Flour Tortillas

TIPS & TRICKS FOR MAKING WRAPS

• Can I make these wraps ahead of time?

  • Yes you can! With some slight changes.
    • Prepare the Caesar salad dressing
    • Mix together half of the dressing + the chicken until combined. 
    • Store all components separately if making this ahead of time or transporting.  
    • When you are ready to assemble the wraps put some lettuce on the tortilla, topped with a scoop of Chicken, and then some tomatoes and croutons. Drizzle some of the remaining dressing over top and roll up. 

• Olive Oil

  • Olive oil can have a very strong taste if you use regular olive oil. For best taste, and what the recipe was tested with, be sure and use extra virgin olive oil that says 'light tasting' on the bottle. But of course, if you love the taste of regular olive oil then feel free to use that. 

• Parmesan Cheese

  • It's best to use freshly shredded parmesan cheese. I buy a wedge of parmesan cheese and use a cheese grater to shred it. You could try buy some pre-shredded stuff from the refrigerated cheese section at the store.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

Caesar salad dressing

• ⅓ cup mayonnaise
• ⅓ cup olive oil I use extra virgin olive oil 'light tasting'
• ¼ cup freshly shredded Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice about 1 large lemon
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 1½ teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 clove garlic

Wraps

• 3 cups chopped or shredded cooked chicken
• 1 bag (9 oz) chopped romaine lettuce
• ½ cup roughly chopped croutons
• ¼ cup freshly shredded Parmesan cheese
• 3 roma tomatoes chopped
• 6 large flour tortillas

Instructions

 

• In a mixing bowl combine the Caesar salad dressing ingredients and stir together with a whisk until combined.
• In a large mixing bowl add the chicken, lettuce, croutons, paremsan cheese, and Caesar salad dressing. Stir together until it's combined well.
• Lay tortilla on a cutting board or large plate. Place a scoop of the caesar salad mixture from the bowl and sprinkle on some chopped tomatoes. Roll up burrito-style and cut down the middle.
• ** If you are not planning on eating it all after making it OR you want to make this ahead of time : Make the caesar salad dressing and combine half of it with the chicken. When you are ready to assemble the wraps, put some lettuce down, a scoop of the caesar salad chicken, top it with some croutons and chopped tomatoes, and then drizzle some of the leftover dressing over top. Leave all the components separate if preparing this ahead of time.

Notes

Nutrition Information & Serving Size : Wraps are a really hard thing to predict the serving size because it depends on what size tortilla you use. I prefer to the largest sized tortilla I can find, which will fit about 1 cup of the chicken Caesar salad mix on it when folded up burrito style. If you use smaller tortillas then the calories will be less and you will get more servings out of the recipe. 

Tortillas : Use any tortilla you prefer. Whole wheat, the green spinach tortillas, carb balance, or gluten-free tortillas will all work fine. 

Olive Oil : Olive oil can have a very strong taste if you use regular olive oil. For best taste, and what the recipe was tested with, be sure and use extra virgin olive oil that says 'light tasting' on the bottle. But of course, if you love the taste of regular olive oil then feel free to use that. 

Parmesan Cheese : I prefer to shred parmesan cheese from a wedge. You could also buy some pre-shredded parmesan cheese. I would stay away from the cheaper, grated parmesan cheese in the can with the green lid.
