How to Serve

Serve the Chicken Caesar Wraps immediately, while the lettuce is still crisp.

Serving Suggestions:

• With a side of sweet potato fries, chips, or a light soup.
• Serve with extra Caesar dressing or a lemon wedge for drizzling.
• Pair with a fresh fruit salad for a complete meal.

Recipe Tips

• Keep lettuce crisp: Dry the romaine thoroughly after washing to prevent sogginess.
• Don’t overfill the wrap: Too much filling makes it hard to roll.
• Use high-quality Caesar dressing: The dressing flavor defines this recipe—homemade is best!
• Add crunch: Crushed croutons or crispy bacon make the texture irresistible.
• Warm tortillas before rolling: This prevents tearing and makes them more pliable.

Variations

1. Spicy Chicken Caesar Wrap: Add a drizzle of hot sauce or use spicy Caesar dressing.
2. Avocado Caesar Wrap: Add creamy avocado slices for richness.
3. Bacon Caesar Wrap: Include crispy bacon for smoky flavor.
4. Greek Caesar Wrap: Add Kalamata olives and sun-dried tomatoes for a Mediterranean twist.
5. Low-Carb Version: Use lettuce leaves or low-carb wraps instead of tortillas.
6. Vegetarian Caesar Wrap: Replace chicken with grilled tofu or chickpeas.
7. Whole Grain Wraps: Use whole wheat tortillas for extra fiber.

Freezing and Storage

• Storage:
  Store assembled wraps (without dressing) in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
  For meal prep, store ingredients separately and assemble just before eating.
• Freezing:
  Not recommended, as lettuce and dressing do not freeze well and will turn soggy when thawed.

Special Equipment Needed

• Grill pan or skillet (for cooking chicken)
• Mixing bowls
• Tongs or salad servers
• Knife and cutting board
• Nonstick skillet or sandwich press (optional for toasting wraps)

Conclusion

Chicken Caesar Wraps with Romaine and Parmesan are a simple yet indulgent meal that turns a timeless salad into a flavorful, portable delight.
