Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Wrap
- 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
- 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.
- Combine wrap ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add chopped chicken, Romaine lettuce, grape tomatoes, and parmesan cheese. Drizzle the dressing over the mixture and use tongs to toss everything until evenly coated.
- Add avocado: Gently fold the diced avocado into the salad mixture to evenly distribute it without mashing.
- Assemble the wraps: Lay the warmed tortillas flat and place a row of the salad mixture down the center of each. Fold the ends in and then wrap tightly to enclose the filling.
- Serve: Cut the wraps in half diagonally and serve immediately.
Notes
- For grilled chicken, preheat grill to 425°F. Pound chicken breasts to even thickness and brush with olive oil. Season with a mix of Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Grill for about 4 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Use whole wheat tortillas for a healthier option or white tortillas for a softer wrap.
- Warming tortillas makes them more pliable and prevents cracking when wrapping.
- Anchovy paste can be substituted with anchovy-free Caesar dressing to make a milder version.
- Store leftover dressing separately to keep wraps fresh and prevent sogginess.
