Description
Quick and flavorful wraps made with juicy chicken, fresh pesto, and Caesar-dressed veggies. Perfect for lunch or a light dinner.
Ingredients
Wraps:
2 cups cooked chicken (leftover grilled or rotisserie)
⅓ cup pesto (add more as needed)
3 tablespoons grated parmesan (optional)
4 wraps (tortillas)
4 cups romaine, shredded
1 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced
Caesar Dressing:
½ cup mayo (Greek yogurt can be used as a substitute)
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
¼ cup parmesan, grated
2 garlic cloves
1 ½ tablespoons capers and brine
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly cracked pepper
Instructions
Chop the cooked chicken into small bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
Shred the romaine and slice the cherry tomatoes. Set aside.
Add all Caesar dressing ingredients into a small food processor or blender. Blend until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
In a medium bowl, toss the romaine and tomatoes with half of the Caesar dressing until well coated.
In a separate bowl, mix chopped chicken with the pesto until evenly coated.
Assemble the wrap by adding the romaine-tomato salad mix to the center of the wrap.
Top with pesto chicken, a sprinkle of parmesan, and a drizzle of remaining dressing (optional).
Fold the wrap like a burrito.
Optional: Heat a skillet over medium heat, lightly oil it, and toast the wraps seam-side down for 2–3 minutes per side.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Notes
Use rotisserie or leftover grilled chicken for convenience.
Moisture level will vary depending on the pesto and chicken used—adjust pesto quantity as needed.
Greek yogurt can replace mayo for a lighter Caesar dressing.
These wraps are delicious both warm or cold.
