Next, I sprinkle in the grated Parmesan cheese and give everything another gentle toss. The cheese adds such a creamy texture that complements the dressing perfectly. If I’m using croutons, I like to crush them up a bit and add them in just before serving for a delightful crunch and to prevent them from getting soggy.
Now comes the fun part—wrapping! I take a tortilla, place a generous amount of the chicken Caesar mixture in the center (don’t be stingy; you want it to be full of flavor), and fold it up tightly. I usually tuck in the sides and then roll it from the bottom up to form a nice, neat wrap. If I’m feeling a bit indulgent, I sometimes warm the tortilla in a skillet for just a minute before wrapping; it makes everything feel even cozier!
Once all my wraps are assembled, I slice them in half diagonally and plate them up. Sometimes, I’ll serve them with a side of extra dressing for dipping because, let’s be honest, you can never have too much Caesar dressing! The aroma of garlic and Parmesan wafts through the kitchen, making it hard to resist diving in right away!
Pro Tips for Best Results
I always recommend using freshly cooked chicken rather than cold, leftover options when possible. The warmth helps to bring out the flavors of the dressing and cheese. I once tried using pre-packed grilled chicken strips, and while they work in a pinch, they just didn’t have the same satisfying taste.
If you want your wraps to have a little extra zing, consider adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or some chopped sun-dried tomatoes. I tested this three ways, and both options really add an incredible depth to the wrap that you won’t want to miss!
And last but not least, quality matters! Use a good-quality Caesar dressing and freshly grated Parmesan if you can. It’s easy to underestimate how much these little details contribute to the overall taste, but trust me, you’ll thank me later!
Common Mistakes to Avoid
One mistake I made early on was adding too much dressing. It can make the wraps soggy, and no one wants a messy meal. I’ve learned to start with a smaller amount and add more to taste if necessary. It’s all about balance! (See the next page below to continue…)
