Ingredients
Let’s gather our ingredients! You’ll notice that I keep things simple and straightforward, because who has time for complicated lists? Here’s what you need:
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (grilled or rotisserie works great)
- 4 large tortillas (whole wheat or regular)
- 2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1/2 cup Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup croutons (for that all-important crunch)
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (optional, but adds a nice pop)
- Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
If you’re looking for substitutions, you can easily swap out the chicken for grilled shrimp or even a plant-based protein if that’s more your style. The dressing can be adjusted too; if you prefer a lighter version, a yogurt-based Caesar dressing works beautifully!
Instructions
Now let’s get cooking! This is where the magic happens, and you’ll see just how simple it is to whip these wraps up.
- Start by shredding your cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces. If you’re using rotisserie chicken, it makes this step even easier!
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, chopped romaine lettuce, and halved cherry tomatoes. Drizzle the Caesar dressing over the top and toss gently until everything is well-coated.
- Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon a generous portion of the chicken and lettuce mixture onto the center of the tortilla, leaving some space at the edges for folding.
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese and croutons over the filling.
- Carefully fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up from the bottom to the top, creating a secure wrap. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- For an extra touch, you can toast the wraps in a skillet over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes per side, until they’re golden brown.
As I make these wraps, I can’t help but think about how I used to be nervous about cooking when I first started out. But with each step, I found my rhythm—much like dancing with my kids in the kitchen, twirling around while waiting for dinner to be ready!
