Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cooked chicken breast, sliced into thin strips
- 4 slices smoked turkey bacon
- 2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 large soft tortilla wraps
- 1/4 cup Parmesan (plant-based) cheese, grated
- 3 tbsp Caesar dressing (plant-based, natural)
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
Optional Variations
- 1/2 avocado, sliced
- Jalapeño slices or red pepper flakes, to taste
- Whole wheat or spinach tortillas instead of regular
- 1/4 cup grilled vegetables (e.g., roasted peppers or zucchini)
- 1 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Use cooked chicken breast, either leftover or freshly grilled, and slice it into thin strips for easy wrapping. Lightly season with smoked paprika if desired for extra smoky warmth.
- Cook the Smoked Turkey Bacon: Pan-fry the smoked turkey bacon until crispy. Once cooked, let it cool slightly, then crumble or slice into bite-sized pieces.
- Wash and Prep Greens: Rinse romaine lettuce thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels. Chop or tear into smaller pieces for easier wrapping and eating.
- Assemble the Wrap: Lay a tortilla flat and spread a generous amount of creamy Caesar dressing (plant-based, natural) evenly over it. Layer the chopped lettuce, sliced chicken, smoked turkey bacon, cherry tomatoes, and sprinkle with plant-based Parmesan cheese.
- Roll and Serve: Fold the sides of the tortilla towards the center and roll tightly from one end to the other. Serve immediately or wrap in foil for a packed lunch.
Notes
- Use warm tortillas to improve pliability and prevent cracking.
- Keep all greens and tomatoes dry by patting them thoroughly to avoid soggy wraps.
- Layer heavier ingredients like chicken at the bottom for better structure.
- Add dressing just before serving to maintain freshness.
- Slice the wrap diagonally for easier handling and a nice presentation.
