Ingredients
Scale
Wrap Ingredients
- 3 cups chopped rotisserie chicken or grilled chicken
- 3 packed cups Romaine lettuce (about 2/3 head)
- 1 cup heaping (6 oz) grape tomatoes, halved
- 1/3 cup slightly packed, finely shredded parmesan cheese
- 1 avocado, diced
- 5 burrito size tortillas, whole wheat or white, warmed
Dressing Ingredients
- 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 4 anchovy fillets, mashed finely to a paste (1 1/2 tsp paste)
- 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp minced garlic (1 clove)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Dressing: Whisk together plain Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, olive oil, mashed anchovy paste, fresh lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic until smooth. Season the dressing with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Combine Salad Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the chopped rotisserie or grilled chicken, packed Romaine lettuce, halved grape tomatoes, and shredded parmesan cheese. Drizzle the prepared dressing over the mixture and use tongs to toss everything together until evenly coated.
- Add Avocado: Gently fold in the diced avocado to distribute it evenly throughout the salad mixture without mashing it.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay the warmed tortillas flat and place the salad mixture in a row down the center of each tortilla. Optionally, tuck the ends of the tortilla inward to secure the filling, then tightly roll the tortilla to form the wrap.
- Serve: Slice each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately for a fresh and delicious meal.
Notes
- Warm the tortillas slightly to make wrapping easier and prevent tearing.
- Use rotisserie chicken for quicker meal prep or grilled chicken for a fresher taste.
- Adjust the anchovy paste quantity in the dressing according to your preference for a milder or stronger flavor.
- For a low-fat option, substitute mayonnaise with more Greek yogurt.
- If avocado is not available, cucumber slices can add a fresh crunch as an alternative.
- Wraps can be prepared ahead and refrigerated; wrap tightly in foil to keep fresh.
