Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast
Wrap and Vegetables:
- 4 large tortillas
- 2 cups romaine lettuce
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Dressing and Seasonings:
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Shred or dice your 2 cups cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces that are easy to eat in a wrap.
- Whisk together 1/4 cup Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, and 1 minced garlic clove in a small bowl until the dressing reaches a smooth, creamy texture.
- Season your dressing with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the flavors until they feel right to you.
- Toss your 2 cups chopped romaine lettuce, 1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes, and the prepared chicken together in a large bowl.
- Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and gently toss everything so each ingredient gets coated evenly.
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese over the salad and fold it in carefully.
- Lay out your 4 large tortillas on a clean surface and divide the salad mixture evenly down the center of each wrap.
- Fold the sides of each tortilla inward, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to create a secure wrap.
- Cut each wrap diagonally in half with a sharp knife and serve to your table.
Notes
- Keep your dressing balanced by tasting as you go, since Greek yogurt makes it tangier than traditional Caesar, and you may need extra lemon juice or less mustard depending on your preference.
- Shred your chicken while it’s still slightly warm, as it breaks apart more easily and absorbs the dressing flavor better than cold chicken.
- Warm your tortillas for 30 seconds in the microwave or on a skillet before filling them, which makes them more pliable and prevents cracking when you fold and roll.
- Assemble the wraps just before eating to keep the tortillas from getting soggy, or pack the filling and tortillas separately if preparing ahead for lunch.
