The Butcher Shop’s Easy Chicken Caesar Wraps
Ingredients:
- 2 large cooked TBS chicken breasts, sliced or chopped (about 3 cups)
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
- ½ cup Caesar dressing
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup seasoned croutons, lightly crushed (optional)
- Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
- Lemon wedges for serving (optional)
Directions:
1. Cook the Chicken (if needed)
If you’re starting with raw chicken, cook it until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Let it cool slightly before slicing.
2. Make the Filling
Combine the chopped chicken, romaine lettuce, Caesar dressing, Parmesan cheese, and black pepper in a large bowl. Toss until everything is evenly coated. Optional: fold in crushed croutons for extra crunch.
3. Assemble and Serve
Lay each tortilla flat and divide the chicken mixture evenly among them. Top with crushed croutons if desired. Fold the sides inward, roll each tortilla tightly, and slice in half. Serve immediately or wrap tightly and refrigerate for up to one day.
Butcher’s Tips for Success
- Dry the romaine: Drying the lettuce before mixing it with the dressing keeps the filling crisp instead of watery.
- Warm the tortillas: Place the tortillas between two wet paper towels and microwave for 10-15 seconds to make them easier to roll.
- Customize your wrap: Add sliced tomatoes, crispy bacon, avocado, or any of your other favorite toppings.
