Chicken Caesar Wrap Recipe
Lately I’ve been loving wraps more than ever! They are such a great change to the same old sandwiches or salads I have so often, and they are one of those things that’s easy to throw together. Here, you take a basic caesar salad, add in an upgrade of avocados, chicken and tomatoes, along with a lighter caesar dressing (and nix the croutons because we don’t need double carbs). Then wrap it all up in a big tortilla and boom! You’ve got a wrap everyone will be envious of at your lunch hour (and they are perfect for dinner too)! Yes, you could go the cheater route and use a store-bought caesar dressing to save time, but really this caesar dressing recipe is easy to mix up it and it’s a big part of what makes this chicken avocado wrap so incredibly delicious! If you wanted to take these chicken Caesar wraps one step further, you could also add crumbled bacon, but of course they are pretty amazing as is.
Chicken Caesar Wrap Ingredients
For the wraps, you’ll need:
Grilled chicken breasts Romaine lettuce Avocado Grape tomatoes Parmesan cheese Burrito-sized tortillas
And for the homemade Caesar dressing, you’ll need:
Plain Greek yogurt Light mayonnaise Olive oil Anchovy fillets Lemon juice Worcestershire sauce Dijon mustard Garlic Water Salt and pepper
How to Make Chicken Caesar Wraps
Whisk together the Caesar dressing ingredients in a small dish. Prep the wrap ingredients (slice the chicken, halve the tomatoes, etc.) Assemble the wraps, finishing with a drizzle of dressing.
Can I Use Anchovy Paste Instead of Anchovy Fillets?
You could use the anchovy paste in a tube to save time if you want. The whole anchovies in a can are better, but there shouldn’t be a major difference in taste. If you haven’t cooked with them before, don’t worry, you don’t taste fish. It just brings a nice depth of flavor to the dressing that is a must for any homemade caesar dressing. They smell bad but we’ll all get over it. Don’t omit them!
Can I Use Baked Chicken?
Yes, you can use any leftover chicken you have on hand for these wraps. Rotisserie chicken would also work here!
Tips for the Best Grilled Chicken Wraps
You’ll need to use burrito-sized tortillas for this recipe, otherwise the caesar salad filling won’t all fit in. For the best flavor, use freshly squeezed lemon juice in the dressing. If you’re packing these wraps for lunch, it’s fine to make them the morning of. I wouldn’t prep them much earlier than that, otherwise the filling will start to get soggy.
