Chicken Caesar Salad Wraps

These chicken Caesar salad wraps make for a quick, easy lunch or dinner. We like a mix of romaine and kale for texture and color, but you can use one or the other if you prefer. Romaine will not hold well once dressed, so we recommend making this wrap up to 1 day in advance or the leaves will get soggy. Parmesan crisps act as another crouton-like element—use store-bought crisps or make your own with our Parmesan Crisps recipe.

  1. Combine romaine (and/or kale), chicken, dressing and grated Parmesan in a large bowl; toss to coat. If using kale, massage the dressing into the leaves to tenderize. Fold croutons and Parmesan crisps into the salad mixture.

  2. Lay 1 tortilla on a cutting board. Spoon 1 1/2 cups of salad mixture into the center of the tortilla; roll up like a burrito. Cut in half, if desired. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and salad mixture.

Tip

Find yogurt-based Caesar dressing, such as Bolthouse Farms, in the produce section of the grocery store.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
