🌟Why You’ll Love This Recipe

  • Killer dressing – The homemade Caesar salad dressing for these wraps is just WOW. It brings all the flavor and savory goodness that you need. It’s also a great way to avoid preservatives and additives in store-bought dressings.
  • Great lunch for you to meal prep – Wraps are an awesome lunch meal because you can make a bunch of them at once easily. They keep well in the fridge, and they’re easy to add to lunchboxes to take to work or school. Other great meal prep lunches include this Meal Salad with Poppyseed Dressing and Kuku Sabzi, an herb frittata that is delicious hot, at room temperature, and even cold.
  • Minimal cooking involved – The only real cooking involved in this recipe is cooking the chicken but you can even avoid this by using leftover/ pre-cooked chicken if you like.

🧾Ingredients in This Recipe

  • Spinach wraps – Swap out for any wrap or tortilla of your choice.
  • Chicken – I cook a chicken breast fresh, but you could sub out for pre-cooked chicken.
  • Romaine lettuce – Romaine is traditional for Caesar because of it’s high water content and mild flavor, but you could use another leafy green.
  • Caesar dressing – I make a homemade Caesar dressing, however, you can use a store-bought one or your favorite Caesar recipe.
  • Tomatoes – use any tomatoes you like, whether that’s grape tomatoes, Vine tomatoes, or regular beefsteak tomatoes.
  • Oil – You can use olive oil or any flavorless oil for this recipe. Olive oil adds an extra layer of flavor that is great, but not required for this recipe.
  • Lemon pepper to season – pairs well with the chicken and the dressing but you can also use regular salt and pepper, instead.

    We had a few leftover grilled chicken breasts from the weekend and were craving wraps to take on a picnic. These were so much better and cheaper than buying pre-made wraps at the grocery store. Can’t wait to make again.
