What I love most about these wraps (besides how ridiculously easy they are) is how customizable they are. Don't like romaine lettuce? Use spinach! Feeling adventurous?

They're pretty fab, if I don't say so myself.
And let's be real, who doesn't love a good Caesar salad? The creamy dressing, the crisp lettuce, the savory chicken... it's a classic for a reason.

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
First, if you're starting with raw chicken, you'll need to cook it. You can grill it, bake it, or even shred a rotisserie chicken to save time. Season with salt and pepper while cooking. Make sure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) to ensure it's cooked through. This is super important to avoid any foodborne illnesses, okie?
While the chicken is cooking (or after, if you're using pre-cooked chicken), prepare the Caesar dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. I sometimes add a lil extra parmesan because…why not?
Next, wash and thoroughly dry the romaine lettuce. Chop it into bite-sized pieces. You don’t want huge, awkward pieces of lettuce sticking out of your wraps. Nobody wants that.
Now, if you're using large tortillas, cut them into smaller circles using a cookie cutter or a knife. Aim for circles about 4-5 inches in diameter. This makes them the perfect size for mini wraps. If you can find smaller tortillas already, even better! Less work for you, yay!
Once the chicken is cooked, let it cool slightly before dicing or shredding it into small pieces. This makes it easier to distribute evenly among the wraps and prevents you from burning your fingers (trust me, I've been there!).
Now for the fun part: assembly! Lay out the mini tortillas on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of Caesar dressing on each tortilla, leaving a little space around the edges to prevent it from squeezing out when you roll them up.
Top each tortilla with a small amount of chopped romaine lettuce and diced or shredded chicken. Don't overfill them, or they'll be difficult to roll. Less is more, my friend!
Carefully roll up each tortilla, tucking in the sides as you go to create a neat little wrap. If you want to secure them, you can insert a toothpick through the center of each wrap.
Finally, arrange the mini Chicken Caesar Salad Wraps on a serving platter. Garnish with extra Parmesan cheese, a sprinkle of black pepper, and maybe even a few croutons for added crunch, if you're feeling fancy.
Serve immediately and watch them disappear! These wraps are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store them in the refrigerator for a few hours if needed. Just keep in mind that the tortillas might get a little soggy over time. So, gobble them up quickly!
These mini chicken caesar salad wraps are delicious. You wont be able to keep your hands off them, and you'll have to make them again sometime soon. It will become a staple in you life.
📝 Notes
For a vegetarian option, replace the chicken with chickpeas or white beans.
Add a dash of hot sauce or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dressing for a spicy kick.
Use spinach or kale instead of romaine lettuce for a different flavor and texture.
Toast the tortillas lightly before assembling the wraps for a crispier texture.
