Assemble the Wraps
Serve
Replace the chicken with grilled shrimp, flaked salmon, or a can of drained and rinsed chickpeas for a vegetarian option.
Add 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes or a few dashes of your favorite hot sauce to the Caesar dressing for a spicy kick.
Substitute half or all of the mayonnaise with plain Greek yogurt for a lighter dressing with a protein boost.
Incorporate other vegetables like sliced cherry tomatoes, avocado, or thinly sliced red onion for added flavor and nutrients.
Chicken breast is a high-quality lean protein, essential for building and repairing muscle tissue, supporting immune function, and promoting satiety.
Romaine lettuce provides essential vitamins like Vitamin K, crucial for blood clotting and bone health, and Vitamin A, which supports vision and immune function.
The carbohydrates from the flour tortilla provide a readily available source of energy to fuel your body and brain throughout the day.
Olive oil is a great source of monounsaturated fats, which are known to support heart health by helping to reduce bad cholesterol levels.
A single Chicken Caesar Wrap made with this recipe contains approximately 650-750 calories, depending on the size of the tortilla and the specific brands of ingredients used.
It can be a balanced meal, offering a good source of protein from chicken, and vitamins from lettuce. However, it can be high in fat and sodium from the dressing and cheese. To make it healthier, you can use a whole wheat tortilla, use Greek yogurt in the dressing, and control the amount of cheese and dressing used.
It's best to assemble the wraps just before eating to prevent them from becoming soggy. However, you can prepare all the components in advance: cook the chicken, make the dressing, and chop the lettuce. Store them in separate airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
If you don't have or like anchovy paste, you can omit it. For a similar umami flavor, you can mash a tablespoon of capers or use a teaspoon of miso paste.
Warming the tortilla is key to making it pliable. Also, be careful not to overfill it. When rolling, fold the sides in first, then roll tightly from the bottom, tucking as you go to create a compact wrap.
Absolutely! Using pre-cooked rotisserie chicken is a fantastic time-saver for this recipe. Simply shred or dice the chicken and add it to the salad.
