Ingredients
For the Wraps
- 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)
For the Dressing
- 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 4 anchovy fillets, mashed finely to a paste (about 1 1/2 tsp paste)
- 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp minced garlic (about 1 clove)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, olive oil, mashed anchovy paste, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic until smooth and fully combined. Season the dressing with salt and black pepper to taste, then set aside.
- Mix the Wrap Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped rotisserie chicken, chopped Romaine lettuce, halved grape tomatoes, and shredded Parmesan cheese. Drizzle the prepared Caesar dressing over the mixture.
- Toss the Salad: Use tongs to gently toss the chicken and vegetables with the dressing, making sure everything is evenly coated.
- Add Avocado: Carefully fold in the diced avocado to the salad mixture, distributing it gently to avoid mashing.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay the warmed tortillas flat. Evenly divide the salad mixture in a row down the center of each tortilla. Optionally, tuck the ends of the tortillas inward to prevent filling from spilling, then roll each tortilla tightly into a wrap.
- Serve: Cut each wrap in half diagonally to serve and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Using rotisserie chicken saves time and adds flavor, but grilled chicken works well too.
- Warming the tortillas makes them more pliable and easy to roll.
- For a vegetarian version, omit anchovy fillets and use vegetarian Worcestershire sauce.
- Store leftover wraps wrapped tightly in foil or plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Adjust salt and pepper in the dressing to suit your taste preferences.
