Ingredients

Scale

2 cups cooked chicken breast (diced or shredded, about 8 oz)
2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
4 large flour tortillas (10-inch, burrito-size; use whole wheat or gluten-free if desired)
6 tablespoons Caesar dressing
2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (optional, for creaminess)
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
1/2 cup croutons, roughly crushed
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (optional)
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

Instructions

If using raw chicken breasts, season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Grill or cook in a skillet over medium-high heat for 6-8 minutes per side, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let rest 5 minutes, then dice or shred (about 2 cups). If using rotisserie or leftover chicken, shred or dice to bite-sized pieces.
Wash and chop the romaine lettuce. Pat dry with a paper towel to prevent soggy wraps. Slice cherry tomatoes in half if using.
In a large mixing bowl, combine chopped lettuce, diced chicken, and cherry tomatoes. Add Caesar dressing (and Greek yogurt if using) and toss gently to coat.
Sprinkle in grated Parmesan and crushed croutons. Toss again until evenly mixed. Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Warm each tortilla in a dry skillet for 10-15 seconds per side or microwave for about 10 seconds until soft and pliable.
Lay a warmed tortilla flat. Spoon about 1/4 of the chicken Caesar salad mixture (about 1 cup) into the center, leaving a border around the edges.
Fold in the sides, then roll up tightly from the bottom, keeping everything snug. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
Slice wraps in half on the diagonal. Serve with extra Parmesan and a lemon wedge if desired.

Notes

For best results, dry lettuce thoroughly and only add dressing just before assembling. Use rotisserie chicken for a shortcut. For gluten-free, use GF tortillas and croutons. For dairy-free, use vegan Caesar and cheese. Store filling and tortillas separately for meal prep. Don’t overfill wraps to prevent spillage.
