Ingredients
- 2 large tortillas
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
- 1/2 cup romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1/4 cup Caesar dressing
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup croutons
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 large tortillas, 1 cup of cooked shredded chicken, 1/2 cup of chopped romaine lettuce, 1/4 cup of Caesar dressing, 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, and 1/4 cup of croutons.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, chopped romaine lettuce, Caesar dressing, and grated Parmesan cheese. Toss the ingredients together until everything is evenly coated with the dressing.
- Lay the large tortillas flat on a clean surface or a cutting board. If desired, you can warm the tortillas slightly in a microwave for about 10-15 seconds to make them more pliable.
- Divide the chicken mixture evenly between the two tortillas, placing it in the center of each tortilla. Be careful not to overfill, as this will make wrapping difficult.
- Sprinkle the croutons over the chicken mixture on each tortilla for added crunch.
- To wrap the tortillas, fold the sides inward over the filling, then roll the bottom edge up over the filling, tucking it in tightly. Continue rolling until the wrap is fully enclosed.
- For a crispy finish, heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down in the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Once cooked, remove the wraps from the skillet and let them cool for a minute. Slice each wrap in half diagonally and serve with additional Caesar dressing on the side if desired.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, you can prepare the chicken and chop the lettuce the night before. This way, when you're ready to cook, everything is ready to go!
- Warm the Tortillas: Warming the tortillas in the microwave for 10-15 seconds makes them more pliable and easier to wrap without tearing.
- Don’t Overfill: Be cautious not to overfill your tortillas. A well-balanced filling will make it easier to wrap and prevent any mess during cooking.
- Get Creative: Feel free to add your favorite ingredients! Sliced avocado, cherry tomatoes, or even bacon can elevate the flavor profile of your wraps.
- Crispy Finish: For an extra crispy texture, consider brushing the outside of the wraps with a little olive oil before placing them in the skillet.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve your wraps with a side of extra Caesar dressing for dipping, or pair them with a light side salad to complete the meal.
