When a Salad Gets a Promotion
I love a good Caesar salad, but sometimes I want to eat it with one hand while doing ten other things. Enter the chicken Caesar wrap -- all the garlicky, Parmesan-packed goodness of the classic salad, rolled up tight and ready to go.
Rolling It Right
Season your chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Grill or pan-sear over medium-high heat for about 6-7 minutes per side until cooked through. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips.
Lay out your large flour tortillas and spread a generous layer of Caesar dressing down the center. Layer on the crisp romaine, sliced chicken, shaved Parmesan, and a handful of crunchy croutons. Tuck in the sides and roll tightly from the bottom up.
The Lunchbox Hero
Slice each wrap in half on a diagonal for that satisfying cross-section reveal. Wrap tightly in foil or parchment for on-the-go eating. These hold beautifully for lunch prep -- just keep the dressing light if making ahead.
Tina's Tips
- Warm the tortilla for 10 seconds in the microwave before rolling -- it becomes way more pliable and won't crack
- Use rotisserie chicken on busy days for a 5-minute meal
- Anchovy paste in the dressing is the secret weapon for authentic Caesar flavor
- Add a squeeze of lemon right before rolling for brightness that cuts through the richness
- Don't overstuff -- I know it's tempting, but a too-full wrap falls apart on the first bite
