Scale
Wrap Ingredients
- 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 (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
- Make the dressing: Whisk all dressing ingredients together in a bowl until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Prepare the salad mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine chopped chicken, Romaine lettuce, halved grape tomatoes, and shredded Parmesan cheese. Drizzle the dressing over the mixture and toss gently with tongs to evenly coat all ingredients.
- Add avocado: Gently fold in the diced avocado, taking care not to mash it, so it's evenly distributed throughout the salad mixture.
- Assemble the wraps: Lay the warmed tortillas flat and layer the salad mixture in a row in the center of each tortilla. Carefully tuck the ends in and roll up tightly to form the wraps.
- Serve: Cut each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For grilled chicken, preheat grill to medium-high (about 425°F). Pound chicken breasts to even thickness and lightly brush with olive oil.
- Season chicken with a mix of 1 tsp Italian seasoning, 3/4 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1/2 tsp onion powder, and 1/8 tsp garlic powder.
- Grill chicken about 4 minutes per side or until internal temperature reaches 165°F on a meat thermometer.
- Use whole wheat tortillas for a healthier wrap option or white tortillas for a softer texture.
- The dressing can be made in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
