Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time20 minutes
Total Time35 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon buttermilk
  • 1 garlic clove chopped
  • 2 anchovies rinsed
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons chopped chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 6 cups chopped romaine lettuce
  • 1 tomato sliced
  • 2 1/2 cups chopped cooked chicken
  • 1/2 cup croutons
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Make the dressing: combine mayonnaise, 1/3 cup Parmesan, lemon juice, buttermilk, chopped garlic, rinsed anchovies, and 1–2 tsp chopped chipotle in adobo in a food processor or blender; process until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Warm the tortillas: cover each with a damp paper towel and microwave for about 20 seconds to make them pliable.
  • Assemble the wraps: divide the chopped romaine evenly among the 4 tortillas, then top with sliced tomato, chopped cooked chicken, croutons, and the remaining 1/4 cup grated Parmesan.
  • Dress and wrap: drizzle about 1 tablespoon of the Caesar dressing over the fillings in each tortilla, fold in the sides and roll up like a burrito, then cut in half to serve.

Equipment

Notes

  • Use 1 teaspoon chipotle for mild heat or 2 teaspoons for spicier flavor.
