In an effort to try and eat a little better, I recently started meal prepping for the week.  One of my favorite meal prep essentials is a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store.  They go on sale a lot and they’re perfect for feeding a small family.  It’s just my husband and me, so one of those chickens goes a long way for us.  Between the two of us, we get a couple of dinners and a few lunches out of one chicken.  What I don’t use right away, I shred and stick in the freezer.

A couple weeks ago, I was looking through the An Apple a Day cookbook and started flagging recipes like crazy!  I found a few recipes for chicken and apple wraps. I knew they would be perfect for using some of my left over rotisserie chicken!  This Caesar salad wrap was one of the recipes I couldn’t wait to try for lunch one day!

Caesar salad is one of my all time favorite salads!  It’s not always the healthiest of salad choices, but boy is it good!  So turning it into a wrap and moderating the amount of dressing definitely helps cut out some of those nasty calories.  I am also a carb lover!  So wraps, sandwiches, quesadillas, tortillas – they’re all my jam!

The great thing about this Caesar salad wrap is that you could use practically any type of wrap and it would still taste delicious!  I used a gluten-free spinach wrap to make mine, but feel free to use any wrap or tortilla you have on hand.  The same thing goes for the Caesar dressing!  Use low-fat, full fat, fat-free, organic – whatever you’ve got on hand will work!
