If you’ve been here a while- you’ve definitely seen caesar wraps on here before. I used to make them a bit simpler than this version- however.. this one is a little more elevated in flavors and I’m not complaining. Crispy chicken, romaine lettuce coated in caesar dressing, freshly squeezed lemon, and parmesan cheese- it is absolutely delicious and easy. Perfect for summer.
PERFECT SUMMER LUNCH/DINNER
They’re easy and light making it perfect for summer. Lunch or Dinner this is filling enough. I love serving it with Trader Joes croissant croutons- almost like a little “chip” on the side.
HOSTING?
Make a bunch of these! They’d make the most beautiful platter. A crowd pleaser.
WONDERING WHAT THE “SIMPLER VERSION” IS?
