Ingredients

Chicken Salad

  • 1/2 pound shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 1/4 of a red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup grape tomatoes, halved
  • 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder

Sauces

  • 1/2 cup basil pesto
  • 3 tablespoons Caesar dressing

Wrap Assembly

  • 4 (10-inch) burrito size flour tortillas
  • 4 slices mozzarella cheese, halved
  • 1 small head Romaine lettuce, chopped

Instructions

  1. Make the Chicken Salad: In a large bowl, combine shredded rotisserie chicken, thinly sliced red onion, halved grape tomatoes, parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well to evenly distribute the seasonings and ingredients.
  2. Add Some Sauce: To the same large mixing bowl with the chicken mixture, add the basil pesto and Caesar dressing. Mix thoroughly until everything is fully incorporated and the chicken salad is creamy and well coated with the sauces.
  3. Assemble the Wrap: Place a 10-inch flour tortilla onto a piece of parchment paper. Layer with halved mozzarella cheese slices, a generous amount of chopped Romaine lettuce, and top with one-quarter of the chicken salad mixture.
  4. Fold the Wrap: Fold in the sides of the tortilla wrap until they almost touch, leaving about an inch gap. Then bring up the bottom flap and continue rolling tightly to enclose all the fillings. Wrap the finished wrap in parchment paper to hold its shape and make it easy to eat.

Notes

  • You can substitute rotisserie chicken with cooked shredded chicken breast if preferred.
  • For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free tortillas.
  • Feel free to add additional veggies like cucumber slices or bell peppers for extra crunch.
  • These wraps can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours wrapped tightly.
  • To warm, unwrap and heat in a skillet or microwave briefly before serving.
