Meat (Fleishig)

A chicken Caesar wrap with a dairy-free dressing: seasoned grilled chicken, crisp romaine, red onion and tomato rolled in a tortilla with a creamy dressing of mayonnaise, lemon, garlic, Dijon, capers and nutritional yeast.

Caesar Flavor Without Parmesan

Nutritional yeast gives the sharp, nutty note usually provided by parmesan, and capers, lemon and Dijon add the briny punch. Grill the chicken until juicy, slice it, and assemble the wraps with plenty of crisp lettuce. Add tomatoes just before serving.

Kosher Notes

Classic Caesar dressing contains parmesan, which can’t be served with chicken, and anchovies, which many people don’t eat with meat or poultry. This dressing has neither. Many Worcestershire sauces contain anchovies too, so use a fish-free Worcestershire, or replace it with extra lemon juice and garlic. Check the lettuce for insects.

Make-Ahead

The dressing keeps for a week; wraps can be made 4 hours ahead.

Method
 

Prepare the Chicken
  1. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. If chicken breasts are very thick, pound them to an even 3/4-inch thickness.
  2. In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture all over the chicken breasts.
  3. Grill chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips.
Make the Dressing
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard.
  2. Stir in nutritional yeast, minced capers, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. The dressing should be tangy and well-seasoned.
Assemble the Wraps
  1. Warm tortillas in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side, or wrap in damp paper towels and microwave for 20 seconds.
  2. Spread about 2 tablespoons of Caesar dressing down the center of each tortilla.
  3. Layer with chopped romaine, sliced chicken, red onion, and diced tomato.
  4. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll tightly from bottom to top. Cut in half diagonally and serve immediately.

Notes

Wraps can be made up to 4 hours ahead and stored wrapped in plastic wrap in the refrigerator. For best texture, add the tomatoes just before serving. The dressing will keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. If you can't find kosher Worcestershire sauce, you can substitute with an extra tablespoon of lemon juice plus a pinch of garlic powder.
