    How to Make Parmesan-Lemon Chicken Caesar Wrap

    1. Dressing Preparation

    In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, grated Parmesan, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic. Whisk these ingredients until the mixture is smooth and well-combined. Gradually drizzle in the olive oil while continuing to whisk, ensuring the dressing becomes emulsified and fully integrated.

    2. Chicken Tossing

    Place the shredded chicken in a large bowl and pour half of the prepared dressing over it. Toss well to ensure each piece of chicken is coated with the dressing.

    3. Lettuce Tossing

    In a separate bowl, toss the torn romaine lettuce with the remaining dressing until evenly coated.

    4. Wrap Assembly

    Spread out the flour tortillas on a clean surface. Divide the dressed chicken equally among the tortillas, placing it in the center of each tortilla. Add a generous cup of the dressed lettuce mixture on top of the chicken on each tortilla. Carefully roll each tortilla to enclose the fillings snugly, creating your Caesar salad wraps.

    Pitfalls and tips

    Marinate for Flavor and Tenderness

    Marinating the chicken not only infuses it with flavor but also helps tenderize it. For even better results, marinate overnight.

    Homemade Dressing

    Make your own Caesar dressing with good-quality mayonnaise, fresh lemon juice, grated Parmesan, garlic, anchovy paste, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce.

    Grate Your Own Cheese

    Use a microplane for fine, fluffy shavings of freshly grated Parmesan to enhance flavor and blend seamlessly with your dressing.

    Balance Your Wrap

    Avoid overfilling and ensure a harmonious blend of chicken, lettuce, and dressing for a well-balanced bite.

    Proper Chicken Cooking

    Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) and let it rest before slicing for a tender and flavorful outcome.
