Chicken Caesar Wrap Recipe

Chicken breast: Cooked and chopped, this is the main protein source for the wrap.

Caesar dressing: A creamy dressing that adds a rich, tangy flavor to the wrap.

Parmesan cheese: Grated cheese that adds a salty, umami kick.

Romaine lettuce: Fresh and chopped, it provides a crisp texture and refreshing taste.

Tortillas: Large and soft, these are used to wrap up all the delicious ingredients.

When mixing the chicken with the caesar dressing and parmesan cheese, ensure the chicken is evenly coated for consistent flavor in every bite. For an extra burst of freshness, lightly toss the romaine lettuce with a bit of the dressing before adding it to the tortillas. This will help the lettuce adhere better and prevent it from falling out when you roll up the wraps.

• Place the wrapped wraps in an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag. This extra layer of protection ensures that no air gets in, keeping your wraps fresher for longer.

• Store the container or bag in the refrigerator. Your chicken caesar wraps will stay fresh for up to 3 days. If you plan to eat them sooner, they’ll be at their best within the first 24 hours.

• If you’re in a hurry, you can also thaw the wrap at room temperature for a few hours. Just be sure to consume it immediately once it’s thawed to ensure the best taste and texture.

• For a warm option, after thawing, you can heat the wrap in the microwave for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until warmed through. Alternatively, you can use a panini press or grill for a crispy exterior.
