2 cups romaine lettuce, washed and dried

Cheese and Dairy Alternatives

1/2 cup creamy plant-based cheese, shredded or sliced
Shavings of plant-based parmesan cheese for garnish (optional)

Dressing

2 tbsp apple cider vinegar (natural)
1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp Dijon mustard (natural)
1/4 cup creamy plant-based cheese
1/2 tsp natural gelling agent
Salt and pepper to taste

Freshly cracked black pepper
Sprinkle of chili flakes or hot sauce for spicy kick (optional)
Sliced cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, or shredded carrots for veggie boost (optional)
Fresh herbs such as basil or parsley for herb-infused dressing (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Grilled Chicken: Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and a little garlic powder. Grill on medium heat for 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked. Let rest, then slice thinly for tenderness.
Cook the Smoked Turkey Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook turkey bacon until crispy. Drain on paper towels and break into bite-sized pieces.
Whip Up the Natural Caesar Dressing: In a bowl, combine apple cider vinegar, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, creamy plant-based cheese, and natural gelling agent. Whisk until smooth and thick enough to coat ingredients. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Assemble the Chicken Caesar Wrap: Lay a whole wheat tortilla flat. Spread a generous layer of dressing in the center. Add romaine lettuce, sliced grilled chicken, turkey bacon pieces, and a sprinkle of creamy plant-based cheese. Fold in sides and roll tightly from one end to the other.
Serve and Enjoy: Optionally, slice the wrap diagonally to expose colorful layers for easier handling and visual appeal.

Notes

Marinate chicken with lemon juice and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce before grilling for extra flavor.
Keep romaine lettuce crisp by washing and drying thoroughly, adding it just before wrapping.
Warm tortillas slightly for 10 seconds in microwave or on dry skillet to ease rolling.
Prepare dressing a day in advance and store chilled for richer flavor.
Balance textures by combining crunchy bacon, creamy cheese, and crisp lettuce.
