A Caesar wrap is a delicious and easy-to-make lunch or dinner option that combines the classic flavors of a Caesar salad with the convenience of a wrap. Here are the steps to make a Caesar wrap:
Ingredients
- 1 large tortilla wrap
- 1/2 cup of romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1/4 cup of cooked chicken, sliced or chopped
- 2 tablespoons of Caesar dressing
- 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
- Begin by warming the tortilla wrap in a pan or microwave until it is soft and pliable.
- Spread the Caesar dressing evenly over the entire surface of the wrap.
- Add the chopped romaine lettuce on top of the dressing, leaving about an inch of space from the edge of the wrap.
- Layer the cooked chicken over the lettuce, followed by the grated parmesan cheese.
- Tightly roll up the wrap, tucking in the sides as you go to ensure the filling stays in place.
- Slice the Caesar wrap in half and serve immediately, or wrap it in foil and store it in the fridge for later.
Optional variations:
- Add additional toppings, such as cherry tomatoes, red onion, or bacon, for added flavor and texture.
- For a pescatarian variation, use cooked shrimp. For a vegetarian version, use cooked tofu or tempeh, anchovy-free dressing and vegetarian cheese. For a vegan version, also use egg-free dressing, omit dairy Parmesan or use a vegan alternative, and check the tortilla ingredients.
- Use a flavored wrap, such as spinach or tomato, for a fun twist on the classic Caesar wrap.
Doneness check
Cook the chicken to 165°F (74°C) before slicing for the wraps.
Storage and serving
Refrigerate leftovers promptly in shallow covered containers at 40°F (4°C) or colder. Use within three to four days, or sooner if an ingredient label requires it. Reheat cooked leftovers to 165°F (74°C). Limit perishable food to two hours out of refrigeration, or one hour above 90°F (32°C). Food-safety guidance.
