Main Ingredients
This tasty chicken Caesar wrap is easy to make with only five ingredients!
- Tortillas: For this recipe, we used the Extreme Wellness wraps. Each one only has 60 calories and 4g net carbs.
- Chicken: I purchase a rotisserie chicken from Sam's Club weekly. I use it in recipes such as healthy green enchiladas and buffalo chicken cauliflower pizza. It's a versatile ingredient that can be used in so many ways.
- Greens: I like to use a spring mix, but crisp romaine lettuce is also a great option. Chop it up before mixing so all the pieces are bite-sized.
- Parmesan Cheese: Flakes or shredded Parmesan is best in this salad wrap. I don't recommend grated cheese.
- Caesar Salad Dressing: I used a light Caesar dressing to reduce fat, but you can also choose a regular dressing.
How To Make Chicken Caesar Wraps
Prep or chop the chicken in advance to save time when preparing dinner. I enjoy keeping bags of frozen cooked chicken in the freezer for later use.
- Stir the shredded chicken, chopped lettuce, cheese, and creamy dressing in a large bowl until combined and coated. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Place 3 tortilla wraps on a tray and divide the salad mixture evenly on each one.
- Fold the sides in and roll up, tucking in the filling and the wrap edges as you go. You must reach with your hands and pull the filling into the tortilla as you roll.
- Once the tortilla is completely rolled, place it on plastic wrap and roll it tightly.
Make It A Full Meal
These easy-rolled sandwiches are filling because they are made with protein and healthy fats. Try adding a few sides to make it even more satisfying.
- Broccoli Crunch Salad
- Tomato Cucumber Mozzarella Salad
- Fruit
- Potato Chips
- Protein Jello
- Applesauce Oatmeal Cookies
Storage Recommendations
Tightly roll the filled tortillas in plastic wrap and place them in the refrigerator. They will keep for about three days.
Simple Tips
- Make your dressing: For a healthier dressing, mix Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic powder, and grated Parmesan cheese. It's lighter than store-bought versions and adds a tangy, creamy flavor.
- Add a crunch: If you love a bit of crunch in your wraps, add some crushed crunchy croutons or chopped nuts. They add a nice texture contrast and make the wraps even more satisfying.
- Customize to taste: These wraps are versatile, so feel free to customize them. Add avocado for creaminess, extra Parmesan, or spicy Dijon mustard or hot sauce for a kick to enhance flavor.
- Use any tortilla: You can use any whole wheat, gluten-free, or flour tortilla. Just remember that it will change the macros.
- Warm the wraps: Lightly warming your tortillas before assembling the wraps makes them more flexible and easier to roll.
- Swap out the cheese: Feel free to use mozzarella or feta cheese.
FAQs
Whole wheat tortilla wraps are healthy, but you can use any kind you prefer, like spinach, tomato, or gluten-free.
Choose a low-fat or homemade Caesar dressing to reduce calories, use less cheese, or skip the croutons. You can also control portion size by using a smaller wrap size.
These healthy chicken wraps are a great choice to meal prep ahead of time. I recommend making three at a time to keep a few in the fridge for a quick grab-and-go option.
