Chicken Caesar Salad Wraps

Chicken Caesar Salad Wraps are just like the classic salad but wrapped up in a tortilla. It's also a no oven dinner that can be made ahead of time or taken on the go. The best part is the easy homemade Caesar salad dressing!

Ingredients

Caesar salad dressing

1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup olive oil I use extra virgin olive oil 'light tasting'
1/4 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
1/2 cup roughly chopped croutons
1/4 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.
