Ingredients
Scale
Wrap Ingredients
- 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
Dressing Ingredients
- 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 4 anchovy fillets, mashed finely to a paste (1 1/2 tsp paste)
- 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp minced garlic (1 clove)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Make the dressing: Whisk together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, olive oil, anchovy paste, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic in a bowl. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Prepare the salad mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine chopped chicken, Romaine lettuce, halved grape tomatoes, and shredded parmesan cheese. Drizzle the dressing over the ingredients and toss gently using tongs to evenly coat everything.
- Add avocado: Gently fold in the diced avocado to the salad mixture, distributing it evenly without mashing.
- Assemble the wraps: Lay the warmed tortillas flat and place a row of the salad mixture in the center of each. Fold and roll the tortillas snugly around the filling; optionally tuck in the ends to prevent spilling.
- Serve: Cut each wrap in half for easy serving and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- For grilled chicken, preheat grill over medium-high heat (about 425°F). Pound chicken breasts to even thickness, brush with olive oil, and season with a mixture of Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Grill about 4 minutes per side or until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Warm the tortillas before assembling to make them more pliable and easier to roll.
- Use whole wheat or white tortillas according to preference for a healthier or classic option.
- Anchovy paste can be substituted with anchovy-free alternatives for a milder flavor, but authentic Caesar dressing benefits from the umami depth anchovies provide.
- Store leftover dressing separately in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
