A chicken Caesar wrap is a reconstructed Caesar salad.

Chicken Caesar wraps are a combination of a Caesar salad and a chicken burrito. You can serve a wrap as a complete meal filled with healthy ingredients and a robust flavor. Make one of these wraps for a lunch or dinner, or for a meal on the go. You can also make this wrap a day ahead of time, but consider leaving the Caesar dressing on the side, so the wrap does not become soggy.

Assemble the Wrap

Step 1

Spread 3 tbsp. of the Caesar dressing over the center of an 8-inch vegetable-flavored wrap 2 inches away from the top and bottom edges; you can use an 8-inch whole wheat tortilla in place of the flavored wrap.

Step 2

Layer three romaine lettuce leaves over the top of the Caesar dressing, and drizzle 1 tsp. of dressing in between each lettuce leaf.

Step 3

Arrange the strips of chicken lengthwise on the lettuce in the center of the wrap. Add 1 tbsp. of sliced black olives over the chicken. Slice 1 pepperoncini pepper into rings and place the rings over the chicken.

Step 4

Turn the wrap so that you are looking at the ingredients lined up horizontally. Fold the right and left sides of the wrap up against the ingredients. Hold the folded edges of the wrap tightly and fold the bottom edge of the wrap over the ingredients. Roll the wrap over to the end of the top edge.

Step 5

Serve the wrap along with the remaining Caesar dressing.

Tip

Look for various flavors of wraps, such as garlic or herb, to use for the chicken Caesar wrap.

Warning

The USDA recommends cooking chicken to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
