Can I make this Chopped Chicken Caesar Salad Wrap ahead of time?

Yes! You can prep the wrap ahead of time by assembling all the ingredients and wrapping them in plastic or foil. Just be sure to store the dressing separately to prevent sogginess. When ready to eat, add the dressing and enjoy!

What can I use instead of chicken for a vegetarian version?

For a vegetarian version, you can substitute the chicken with grilled tofu, chickpeas, or even roasted vegetables. These options will still provide a satisfying and flavorful wrap.

How do I prevent the wrap from getting soggy?

To keep the wrap from getting soggy, make sure to use fresh, dry lettuce and only add the dressing right before you eat. Wrapping the wrap tightly and storing it in foil can also help maintain its shape and texture.

Instructions

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bacon strips and cook for 2-4 minutes on each side until crispy. Remove the bacon and chop it into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In an oven-safe skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown, then transfer the skillet to the oven. Roast for 9-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then slice it into thin strips.
Rinse and dry the romaine lettuce, then chop it into bite-sized pieces. On a large cutting board, combine the lettuce, sliced chicken, chopped bacon, Caesar dressing, and freshly grated Parmesan. Use a large knife to chop and mix everything together until well-combined.
Lay the tortilla flat and add the salad mixture down the center. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and tightly roll it up into a wrap.
Heat a clean skillet over medium heat and drizzle a small amount of olive oil or spray with cooking spray. Place the wrap seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, pressing down gently with a spatula, until golden brown and crispy.

Notes

If you’re meal prepping, store the dressing and lettuce separately to prevent sogginess.
Wrap the tortilla tightly to keep the filling in place. Wrapping it in foil also helps it hold its shape when reheating.
Use fresh, dry lettuce to prevent the wrap from becoming soggy.
Feel free to swap the chicken for grilled turkey, rotisserie chicken, or tofu for a vegetarian version.
