Description
A quick and flavorful lunch option featuring shredded rotisserie chicken tossed in a creamy Caesar dressing, wrapped in warm tortillas with crisp romaine, parmesan, and croutons.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- 2 heads romaine hearts, washed, dried, and chopped into 1-inch pieces
- 4–6 large flour tortillas (burrito-sized)
- 1/2 cup Caesar dressing
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup croutons (garlic croutons recommended)
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp black pepper
- Red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
Instructions
- Shred the rotisserie chicken and place it in a large mixing bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the Caesar dressing, juice of half a lemon, minced garlic, and black pepper until smooth.
- Pour the dressing mixture over the shredded chicken and toss thoroughly to coat. Let sit for 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
- Chop the romaine hearts into 1-inch pieces, ensuring they are completely dry.
- Warm the tortillas in a non-stick skillet or microwave until pliable.
- Lay a tortilla flat and spread a thin layer of extra dressing on it.
- Add a generous scoop of the dressed chicken mixture to the center.
- Top with chopped romaine, croutons, and grated Parmesan cheese.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla inward and roll tightly from the bottom up.
- Cut in half diagonally and serve immediately.
Notes
Ensure romaine is completely dry to prevent soggy wraps. Warm tortillas to make them pliable and less likely to tear. For meal prep, store filling and tortillas separately. Keep croutons separate until serving to maintain crunch. Taste chicken before adding extra salt as rotisserie chicken can be salty.
