Quick and easy Pesto Chicken Wraps packed with tender chicken, fresh veggies, and creamy pesto sauce, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, chopped
  • ⅓ cup pesto (add more if needed)
  • 4 large tortillas or wraps
  • 4 cups romaine lettuce, shredded
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan (optional)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1½ tablespoons capers with brine
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: Chop the cooked chicken into small, bite-sized pieces and place it in a large bowl.
  2. Mix with pesto: Add the pesto to the chicken and toss until every piece is evenly coated.
  3. Make the Caesar dressing: In a blender, combine mayonnaise, olive oil, lemon juice, Parmesan, garlic, capers, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  4. Toss the salad: In a medium bowl, mix shredded romaine and sliced cherry tomatoes. Add half of the Caesar dressing and toss until the salad is evenly coated.
  5. Assemble the wraps: Lay a tortilla flat and add a generous portion of the romaine salad mixture to the center. Top with a scoop of the pesto chicken and sprinkle with extra Parmesan if desired.
  6. Roll the wraps: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward and roll it tightly like a burrito.
  7. Toast (optional): For a warm wrap, heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly spray it with oil. Place the wrap seam-side down and toast for 2–3 minutes per side until lightly golden.
  8. Serve: Slice in half and enjoy immediately, with extra dressing for dipping if desired.
