Variations
I sometimes use grilled shrimp, turkey, or crispy tofu instead of chicken for a different flavor profile. When I want extra crunch, I add cucumbers, bell peppers, or additional croutons. For a healthier version, I choose whole wheat tortillas and a lighter Caesar dressing. I also enjoy adding avocado, or roasted vegetables to make the wrap even more satisfying.
Storage/Reheating
I store the Caesar filling separately in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. I prefer assembling the wraps just before serving to keep the lettuce crisp and the tortilla fresh. If the wraps are already assembled, I wrap them tightly and refrigerate them for up to 1 day. This recipe is best enjoyed cold, so reheating is generally unnecessary.
