These Caesar Chicken Wraps are delicious! I have been serving a lot of wraps and sandwiches for dinners lately. It hasn't been a conscious thing, it's just the Spring weather makes me crave light food like this. Isn't it great to have warm weather back again?! I'd love to hear some of your favorite summer meals too!
Caesar Chicken Wraps
Posted by Erin ~ thesisterscafe.com
1/2 c. creamy Caesar dressing (Lite works fine)
1/2 c. Parmesan cheese
1 tsp lemon juice
1 clove garlic
1/4 tsp pepper
4 oz cream cheese, softened
3 c. Romaine lettuce, chopped
1/2 c. red peppers, sliced
Handful of olives, sliced (or one small can of sliced olives)
5 flour tortillas (I use Costco's uncooked tortillas and bake them fresh)
2 chicken breasts, cooked and sliced
Combine Caesar dressing, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, garlic and pepper. In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth and add a fourth of the dressing mixture; mix well. In a large bowl, combine lettuce, red pepper and olives. Add remaining salad dressing to lettuce and toss to coat. Spread a layer of cream cheese mixture on each warm tortilla. Top with lettuce mix, wrap up and serve.
*Note: I am obsessed with these amazing tortillas from Costco; you'll notice that I have a ton of recipes posted where I use them (ie, Chicken Enchilada Pizzas, Shredded Chicken Taquitos, Pico de Gallo Chicken Quesadillas, Grilled Chicken Tostadas...). Funny thing is, I have started to wrap everything up in them even if they are not really supposed to be wrapped in a flour tortilla ( like the Tostadas for instance). I can't help myself. These flour tortillas are soooo good . They are the Tortilla Land brand - "Uncooked Flour Tortillas: bake them for the first time! Ready in seconds!" You get a pack of 44 (from the refrigerated section, but you can also freeze them at home) for only $7. You just cook them in a skillet for a minute and they taste so YUMMY. Anyway, there is my promotion for Costco's tortillas. They can pay me later. :).

ReplyDeleteCaesar Chicken Wraps are so great! I use to make them all the time and fell out of the habit of having the wraps in the pantry but I need to get back into doing that :)
ReplyDeleteGreat for lunch or a light dinner!
ReplyDeleteWhat Caesar dressing do you use? I have had a hard time finding one that is mild tasting!
ReplyDeleteOh wow--Addie Landon is your Aunt?! I LOVED that store! I missed it when she moved and it closed. Say hi for me--I am a fan:)
ReplyDeleteMmmm this looks so good Erin! Perfect for a hot summer night. I will definetly be putting this on our dinner menu! xo
ReplyDeleteThese do look so good, Erin! And I agree that those Costco tortillas are the best.
ReplyDeleteErin: These look great! If I were going to serve them as an entree, would else could I serve along side? Side dish, soup, fruit? What do you pair this with to make it a complete meal? Thanks for your help!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to try this recipe on those hot summer days. I shared this on my Must Try Tuesday post today. Thanks for sharing another great recipe!

Made these last night and they were wonderful. Everyone asked for seconds.
ReplyDeleteThis seems like a silly question but how do you cook the chicken for these wraps. Thanks
ReplyDeleteHi Amy,
ReplyDeleteNo, that is a great question. There are lots of ways to cook chicken... One way is to put the chicken breasts in a saute pan with a little olive oil on medium-low heat and cook, flipping once, with a lid on top (cracked open for steam). If the chicken breasts are really thick, you can slice them width-wise to cook faster. Or, you can cut the chicken in large pieces and saute them in heated oil in a pan, stirring frequently. When they are cooked, you can shred the large pieces apart. Another way to pre-cook a lot of chicken is to put a bunch of frozen chicken breasts in the crockpot with 1 cup of water and some bouillon cubes. Then cook them on low for 7 or 8 hours. Or you can cook chicken in the oven at 350, in a glass pan with tin foil on top. They would probably take 30-40 minutes to cook, but it would largely depend on how thick your chicken breasts were. Lastly, sometimes I put frozen chicken breasts (or thawed) in boiling water and boil them until cooked through. I will sometimes do that for enchiladas. For salads, I grill the chicken.
Long answer for a very short question. :)
