Scale
For the Wrap:
- 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
For the Dressing:
- 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
Instructions
- For the dressing: Whisk all dressing ingredients together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- For the wraps: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, and parmesan cheese. Drizzle the dressing over and toss with tongs to coat evenly. Add the diced avocado and gently mix.
- Layer the salad mixture over tortillas in a row in the center, then wrap, tucking in the ends before wrapping to secure the filling.
- Cut wraps in half before serving.
Notes
- For grilled chicken, preheat the grill over medium-high heat to about 425F. Pound the chicken breast to an even thickness, then brush both sides lightly with olive oil. Whisk together 1 tsp Italian seasoning, 3/4 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, 1/2 tsp onion powder, and 1/8 tsp garlic powder. Grill for about 4 minutes per side or until the center reaches 165F.
