Caesar Chicken Wraps

IMG_0048.jpg

Salad dressing is usually extremely bad for you (creamy blue cheese, ranch, Caesar), but I found some yogurt based salad dressing that is really good. Thus this recipe resides in my "healthy" stash.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 chicken breast
  • 1 tbsp Caesar dressing
  • 1 whole wheat tortilla (burrito sized)
  • shredded lettuce

Procedure

  1. Bake the chicken breast with some light seasoning. I use cracked salt, cracked pepper and garlic powder.
  2. Chop the chicken and let cool. I shove it in the freezer for 5 minutes because I'm impatient.
  3. Toss chicken, a handful of lettuce and the Caesar dressing in a mixing bowl.
  4. Heat the tortilla on both sides in a frying pan. Don't use oil or anything.
  5. Dump the chicken/lettuce/dressing mix onto the tortilla and wrap it up!

Notes

The dressing I use is yogurt based and made by Bolthouse Farms. It's good stuff; no preservatives or added sugar.

Use 100% whole wheat tortillas. Note that "wheat" nor "whole wheat" is the same as "100% whole wheat". If you're unsure, just use these.
