Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Whole wheat tortillas
- 2 cups Romaine lettuce
- 2 pieces Grilled chicken breast, skinless
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt, non-fat
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 piece Avocado, sliced
Instructions
Start by preparing the dressing. In a bowl, combine the non-fat Greek yogurt, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth and set aside.
Cook the skinless chicken breasts on a grill or stovetop pan over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through. Once done, remove from heat and let them cool slightly before slicing into strips.
Lay a whole wheat tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a few tablespoons of the prepared Greek yogurt Caesar dressing over the tortilla.
Place 0.5 cup of shredded romaine lettuce in the center of the tortilla, followed by a few slices of grilled chicken, a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese, halved cherry tomatoes, and slices of avocado.
Carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up from the bottom end, ensuring that all ingredients are tightly wrapped inside.
Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and ingredients.
Once all wraps are prepared, cut each in half and serve immediately. Enjoy your heart-healthy Caesar wraps as a wholesome meal or a nutritious snack.
