  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 5 servings

Ingredients

Salad and Wrap

  • 3 cups chopped rotisserie chicken (or grilled chicken)
  • 3 packed cups Romaine lettuce (about 2/3 head)
  • 1 cup heaping (6 oz) grape tomatoes, halved
  • 1/3 cup slightly packed, finely shredded parmesan cheese
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 5 burrito size tortillas (whole wheat or white, warmed)

Dressing

  • 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 4 anchovy fillets, mashed finely to a paste (about 1 1/2 tsp paste)
  • 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp minced garlic (1 clove)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dressing: In a bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, olive oil, mashed anchovy paste, fresh lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic until smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Set aside.
  2. Assemble the salad mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped rotisserie chicken, chopped Romaine lettuce, halved grape tomatoes, and shredded parmesan cheese. Drizzle the prepared Caesar dressing over the ingredients and use tongs to toss everything together thoroughly until evenly coated.
  3. Add the avocado: Gently fold the diced avocado into the salad mixture to distribute it evenly without mashing it, preserving its creamy texture.
  4. Wrap the fillings: Lay out the warmed tortillas and place the salad mixture in a row along the center of each tortilla. Optionally tuck the ends in to prevent the filling from falling out, then tightly roll each tortilla around the salad to form a wrap.
  5. Serve: Cut each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately for a fresh and satisfying meal.

Notes

  • Using rotisserie chicken speeds up preparation but grilled or cooked chicken can be substituted.
  • Warming the tortillas makes them more pliable and easier to wrap.
  • Adjust the amount of anchovy paste according to your preference for umami flavor.
  • For a lighter dressing, substitute mayonnaise with additional Greek yogurt.
  • This recipe makes 5 wraps, perfect for meal prep or a family lunch.
