Ingredients
Scale
The Wrap
- 4 High Protein Tortillas (or Carb Balance wraps)
- 3 cups Cooked Chicken Breast, chopped (rotisserie or grilled)
- 4 cups Romaine Lettuce, chopped
- 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese, grated
- 1/2 cup Crunchy Chickpeas or High Protein Bagel Chips (crushed)
High Protein Caesar Dressing
- 1/2 cup Non-fat Greek Yogurt (plain, thick)
- 1 tbsp Dijon Mustard
- 1 tbsp Lemon Juice, fresh
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce (optional)
- 2 tbsp Parmesan Cheese, grated
- 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
- 1–2 tbsp Water (to thin, if needed)
Instructions
- Make Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, 2 tbsp parmesan, and pepper. Add water 1 teaspoon at a time until it reaches a thick, pourable consistency.
- Prep Chicken: Toss the chopped chicken breast with half of the dressing until fully coated.
- Assemble (Barrier Method): Lay a tortilla flat. Place a generous handful of dry romaine lettuce in the center. This acts as a barrier.
- Fill: Top the lettuce with the dressed chicken mixture.
- Crunch: Sprinkle the remaining parmesan cheese and crushed bagel chips (or chickpeas) over the chicken.
- Roll: Fold the sides of the tortilla in, then roll tightly from the bottom up, tucking in the filling as you go.
- Sear (Optional but Recommended): Heat a skillet over medium heat with cooking spray. Place the wrap seam-side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Slice in half diagonally and serve immediately or wrap for meal prep.
Notes
- Sogginess Tip: Always place the lettuce down first to protect the tortilla from the sauce.
- Spicy Version: Add 1 tsp Sriracha to the dressing.
- Storage: Wrap tightly in parchment paper and store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
