This Chicken Caesar Wrap recipe combines tender chopped rotisserie chicken with crisp romaine lettuce, juicy grape tomatoes, creamy avocado, and a tangy homemade Caesar dressing, all wrapped in warm whole wheat or white tortillas. Perfect for a quick and satisfying dinner, these wraps offer classic Caesar salad flavors in a convenient handheld format.

Ingredients

For the Wraps:

  • 3 cups chopped rotisserie chicken (or grilled chicken)
  • 3 packed cups Romaine lettuce (about 2/3 head)
  • 1 cup heaping (6 oz) grape tomatoes, halved
  • 1/3 cup slightly packed, finely shredded parmesan cheese
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 5 burrito size tortillas (whole wheat or white, warmed)

For the Dressing:

  • 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 4 anchovy fillets, mashed finely to a paste (about 1 1/2 tsp paste)
  • 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp minced garlic (about 1 clove)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Make the Dressing: In a bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, olive oil, mashed anchovy paste, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic until smooth and well combined. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  2. Prepare the Salad Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine chopped cooked chicken, romaine lettuce, halved grape tomatoes, and shredded parmesan cheese. Drizzle the prepared Caesar dressing over the mixture. Use tongs to toss everything gently and evenly coat all the ingredients with the dressing.
  3. Add the Avocado: Gently fold in the diced avocado to the salad mixture, being careful not to mash it, ensuring even distribution throughout the filling.
  4. Assemble the Wraps: Lay the warmed tortillas flat and arrange the salad mixture in a horizontal row down the center of each tortilla. Optionally, tuck in the ends of the tortillas before rolling to prevent the filling from falling out, then roll the tortillas tightly into wraps.
  5. Serve: Cut each wrap in half diagonally, and serve immediately for a fresh and flavorful dinner option.

Notes

  • Using rotisserie chicken speeds up prep time, but grilled or baked chicken works well too.
  • Warm the tortillas slightly in a dry skillet or microwave to make rolling easier and prevent tearing.
  • For a lower-fat version, substitute mayonnaise with additional Greek yogurt.
  • Anchovy paste is key to the authentic Caesar flavor but can be omitted for a milder taste.
  • Wraps are best enjoyed fresh to prevent the tortillas from becoming soggy.
