Ingredients

Here’s a refined and reader-friendly list, rewritten for clarity:

• 3 cups chopped rotisserie or grilled chicken
• 3 packed cups romaine lettuce (about two-thirds of a head)
• 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
• ⅓ cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese
• 1 avocado, diced
• 5 large (burrito-sized) tortillas, warmed

For the Dressing:

• ⅓ cup plain Greek yogurt
• ¼ cup mayonnaise
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 4 anchovy fillets, mashed into a paste (~1½ tsp)
• 1 Tbsp lemon juice
• 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp minced garlic (1 clove)
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Step-by-Step: How to Make Chicken Caesar Wrap

1. Make the Dressing
   In a bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, olive oil, anchovy paste, lemon juice, Worcestershire, Dijon, garlic, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning as needed.
2. Toss the Salad
   In a large bowl, combine chicken, romaine, tomatoes, and Parmesan. Pour the dressing over the mixture and use tongs to toss until evenly coated.
3. Add Avocado
   Gently fold in the diced avocado to distribute evenly without mashing.
4. Assemble Wraps
   Lay tortillas flat. Spoon the salad mixture in a line down the center, then fold and roll burrito-style. Optionally, tuck in the ends first to secure the filling.
5. Serve
   Cut each wrap in half crosswise to serve.

Helpful Tips

• Use burrito-size tortillas for easier wrapping and less mess.
• Toss the salad first before wrapping, so all components are coated evenly.
• Don’t overfill the tortilla—too much filling can make it difficult to roll.
• Serve right away to avoid soggy tortillas, especially if using moist ingredients like tomatoes or dressing.
• For extra crunch, consider adding chopped croutons or enjoy the clean version without them.

Substitutions and Variations

• Chicken options: Use leftover grilled chicken, rotisserie chicken, or even air-fried chicken chunks for convenience.
• Cheese substitutes: Swap Parmesan for Romano or another aged hard cheese if preferred.
• Lettuce alternatives: Use green leaf, butterhead, or iceberg lettuce if romaine isn’t available.
• Crouton option: Add croutons for crunch or skip to keep it lighter.
• Enhancements: Include crispy bacon, or go with additions like avocado and tomatoes for extra texture and flavor.

Storage Instructions

• Best enjoyed immediately after assembling due to potential sogginess.
• If prepping ahead, wrap tightly in foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate for a few hours max. Eat cold or briefly warm in a pan before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions About Chicken Caesar Wrap

Q: Is it possible to prepare these wraps in advance?
A: While possible, the tortillas may become soggy if assembled too early—best eaten soon after making. If needed, wrap tightly and refrigerate; warming briefly before eating helps refresh texture.

Q: Can I use store-bought dressing?
A: Yes! A good-quality bottled Caesar dressing works well for convenience. But a homemade version (like the one here) offers richer flavor and better control over ingredients.

Q: What can I substitute for anchovy paste if I don’t have it?
A: You can replace anchovies with a dash of Worcestershire sauce and extra Parmesan for umami—although anchovies add the most authentic Caesar flavor.

Q: Are these wraps kid-friendly?
A: Absolutely! They’re portable, flavorful, and packed with protein. Let kids customize their wraps by adjusting ingredients like tomatoes, avocado, or cheese to suit their taste.

Q: How do I prevent the wrap from falling apart?
A: Use warmed tortillas for better flexibility, avoid overfilling, tuck in the ends, and roll snugly. Wrapping tightly helps retain shape.
