🥘Keto Chicken Caesar Salad Wraps Ingredients
These are the ingredients necessary to make Keto Chicken Caesar Salad Wraps.
- Keto Flour Tortillas - These are my favorite keto flour tortillas to make meal-prep burritos and wraps with.
- Keto Croutons - I make homemade croutons with keto bread or I use these parmesan crisps!
- Caesar Dressing - I prefer this dressing but you can use any you like just make sure they are low-carb and made with keto-friendly oils.
A detailed list with measurements and instructions can be found on the printable recipe card at the bottom of the page.
Helpful Hint: 💡: To save time during meal prep, consider cooking the chicken breasts ahead of time and storing them in the refrigerator, or freezer, until ready to assemble the wraps. This way, you can quickly whip up a batch of wraps whenever hunger strikes without having to wait for the chicken to cook.
SUBSTITUTIONS
- Chicken - You can use chicken breast or chicken thighs for this recipe or try cooked salmon.
- Croutons - You can make homemade croutons with keto bread or use parmesan crisps instead.
- Caesar Dressing - I prefer Primal Kitchen Caesar Dressing but you can use whatever you prefer, just make sure to check the carbs and that it uses keto-friendly oils.
📖VARIATIONS
- Greek Twist - Add a Mediterranean twist by swapping the Caesar dressing for tzatziki sauce and incorporating classic Greek ingredients like cucumbers, tomatoes, Kalamata olives, and feta cheese into the salad mixture.
- Buffalo Chicken Caesar - For a spicy kick, toss the cooked chicken in buffalo sauce before assembling the wraps. Pair it with crisp romaine lettuce, diced celery, blue cheese crumbles, and a drizzle of ranch or blue cheese dressing.
- Tex-Mex - Give your wraps a Tex-Mex twist by adding ingredients like diced bell peppers, chopped tomato, onion, shredded cheddar cheese, and a dollop of salsa or guacamole. Serve with a side of lime wedges for an extra burst of flavor.
🍽Equipment
This is the equipment you will need to make Keto Chicken Caesar Salad Wraps.
- large cast iron skillet
- tongs
- large cutting board
- chef's knife
- large mixing bowl
- measuring cups and spoons
Storage
- Refrigerator Storage: Once assembled, wrap each Chicken Caesar Salad Wrap tightly in cling wrap or aluminum foil to prevent them from drying out. Store the wrapped wraps in an airtight container or resealable plastic bag and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
Given the lettuce content, freezing and reheating are not recommended as it would result in the lettuce becoming wilted and the overall texture being compromised. It's best to enjoy these wraps fresh within the recommended refrigeration timeframe.
💭Top tip
If your tortillas seem a bit stiff you can warm them in the microwave for a few seconds so they wrap easily.
FAQ about Keto Chicken Caesar Salad Wraps
Of course! Feel free to swap the chicken with your preferred protein such as grilled salmon or shrimp, sliced turkey, or even tofu for a vegetarian option. Adjust cooking times accordingly based on your protein choice.
Certainly! Feel free to customize the wraps with additional vegetables such as diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, or chopped green onion for added flavor and nutrition.
While regular tortillas are higher in carbs, you can use them if you're not strictly following a keto diet. However, if you're on a keto diet, it's best to stick with low-carb or keto-friendly tortillas to keep the net carb count within your desired range.
