Ingredients

1/2 cup Lowfat Caesar salad dressing
1/2 cup Grated Parmesan cheese, divided
1 tsp Lemon juice
1 Garlic clove, minced
1/4 tsp Pepper
1 package (8 oz) lowfat cream cheese, softened
3 cups Shredded romaine
1/2 cup Diced sweet red pepper
1 can (2-1/4 oz) sliced ripe olives, drained
5 Flour tortillas (10 inches)
1-3/4 cups Cubed cooked chicken

Preparation

In a small bowl, combine the salad dressing, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, garlic and pepper. In a small mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add half of the salad dressing mixture and mix well; set aside.

In a large bowl, combine the romaine, red pepper, and olives. Add the remaining salad dressing mixture; toss to coat. Spread about 1/4 cup cream cheese mixture on each tortilla. Top with the romaine mixture and chicken; sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese. Roll up, cut in half, and serve.

Cook's Notes

If I am making this for just one serving, I keep the lettuce, cream cheese, and salad dressing mixture all separate until ready to serve. Otherwise, the lettuce gets soggy.

This was great! Mixed in the cheese sauce with the chicken and served it that way. Wonderful for this spring weather, too.

Perfect for a hot summer dinner, (don't have to have the stove on long.) We served it with a light yogurt fruit salad, and there were no leftovers. Super yummy! 2 thumbs waaay up!

I choose not to dress the lettuce mixture at all. We had dressing available on the table along with extra lemons. Terrific! The cream cheese mixture would be good on a brushetta type appetizer too!

This recipe fed my hungry family of five for a nice light dinner. It would have gotten a 10 if this rating system went that high! Hubby thought a little cilantro would be a nice touch. We'll add some next time we make it. I may even go with pita pockets instead of tortillas too.

I'm going to use salsa instead of cream cheese to lower fat

YUMMY. I added some fresh spinach leaves to the salad mixture, and some dried onions to the chicken when I cooked it.
