Chicken Caesar Wrap

Absolutely, a Chicken Caesar Wrap is a delicious and convenient meal option. Here’s what you’ll need to make it:

Ingredients:

• For the Wrap:
  • 1 large tortilla (flour or whole wheat)
  • 1 cup chopped romaine lettuce (washed and dried)
  • 1/2 – 1 cup cooked, shredded chicken breast
  • 1/3 – 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 – 1/3 cup Caesar salad dressing (to your preference)
  • Optional additions: Chopped cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, crumbled bacon bits, sliced avocado

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken: You can use leftover grilled, baked, rotisserie chicken, or cook boneless, skinless chicken breasts specifically for the wrap. Here are some quick cooking methods for chicken breasts:
   • Pan-frying: Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and cook them in a pan with a little oil until golden brown and cooked through.
   • Poaching: Poach the chicken breasts in simmering water for 10-15 minutes, or until cooked through. Shred the chicken with two forks.
2. Assemble the Wrap: Lay the tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of Caesar dressing in the center of the tortilla, leaving some space around the edges.
3. Layer the Ingredients: Evenly distribute the chopped romaine lettuce over the Caesar dressing. Add the shredded chicken, Parmesan cheese, and any other chosen ingredients (tomatoes, onion, bacon, avocado).
4. Wrap it Up: Carefully fold the bottom edge of the tortilla over the filling. Then fold in the sides like a burrito, tucking them in tightly. Roll up the tortilla snugly, starting from the bottom. You can secure the wrap with a toothpick if needed.
5. Serve and Enjoy: Cut the wrap in half and enjoy it right away. You can also wrap the entire assembled wrap in plastic wrap or foil and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours for later enjoyment.

Tips:

• To warm the tortilla for a softer and more pliable wrap, heat it briefly in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few seconds per side.
• If you’re using store-bought Caesar salad dressing, check the sodium content and adjust the amount you use to your taste preference.
• For a vegetarian option, you can replace the chicken with crumbled tofu or tempeh.
• Get creative with your fillings! Add other chopped vegetables like bell peppers, cucumbers, or a sprinkle of dried cranberries for a touch of sweetness.
