Cottage Cheese Chicken Caesar Wraps - Creamy, Protein-Packed, and Easy

Prep Time 10 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or chopped (rotisserie chicken works well)
  • 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese (small curd preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for topping
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (fresh is best)
  • 1–2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced or grated
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce (or 1 teaspoon anchovy paste for classic flavor)
  • 1–2 tablespoons olive oil (optional, for extra richness)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 3 cups chopped romaine lettuce
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (optional but fresh)
  • 1/2 cup croutons, lightly crushed (optional for crunch)
  • 4 large tortillas (8–10 inches; whole wheat or regular)
  • Lemon wedges (optional, for finishing)

Method
 

  1. Make the cottage cheese Caesar dressing: In a blender or food processor, combine cottage cheese, Parmesan, lemon juice, Dijon, garlic, Worcestershire (or anchovy paste), and olive oil if using. Blend until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper. Adjust lemon and Dijon to taste.
  2. Toss the chicken: In a large bowl, add the cooked chicken and a generous amount of the dressing. Stir to coat evenly. You want it creamy but not soupy.
  3. Add the greens: Fold in the chopped romaine, tomatoes, and croutons (if using). Add more dressing as needed to lightly coat everything.
  4. Warm the tortillas: Heat each tortilla in a dry skillet for 15–20 seconds per side or microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel for 20–30 seconds. Warm tortillas roll without tearing.
  5. Assemble the wraps: Divide the filling among the tortillas, keeping it in a line down the center. Sprinkle extra Parmesan over the filling and a crack of black pepper. Squeeze a little lemon if you like brightness.
  6. Wrap it up: Fold the sides in, then roll tightly from the bottom up. Slice in half if serving immediately.
  7. Serve: Enjoy right away for the best crunch. If packing for later, see storage tips below.
