Caesar Chicken Wraps

Contributed By: danigirl

These are great wraps for lunch and they are hearty enough for dinner too!

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 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.
