Mayo-Free Chicken Caesar Wrap

A mayo-free Caesar wrap is a tasty, wholesome snack. Pack it for a picnic or tuck it into your kid's school lunch. Inside there's nothing but good stuff — chicken breast, lettuce, and vegetables — and instead of heavy mayonnaise, a light sour cream dressing. Feel free to adjust the filling to suit your own taste.

Cooking method

Step 1:

How do you make a mayo-free chicken Caesar wrap? Cut the chicken breast into strips. Heat the oil in a skillet, add the chicken, and cook until done. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then add turmeric — it gives the meat a lovely color. Stir, let it cook another 3 minutes, and turn off the heat.
Step 2:

Rinse the lettuce leaves under running water and dry them on paper towels.
Step 3:

Grate the cheese on the coarse holes of a box grater.
Step 4:

Cut the tomatoes, bell pepper, and onion into small slices.
Step 5:

Make the sauce. Stir together the sour cream, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. You can also add some dill and a small clove of garlic. If you prefer something richer, use a store-bought Caesar dressing instead.
Step 6:

Cut rectangles from the lavash sheets and brush each one generously with the sauce.
Step 7:

Sprinkle on a generous layer of cheese.
Step 8:

Arrange the lettuce, chicken, and vegetables on top.
Step 9:

Turn the lavash ninety degrees and gently fold in the left edge.
Step 10:

Then fold up the bottom edge to tuck in the filling, working carefully so the lavash doesn't tear.
Step 11:

Roll the lavash up into a wrap. Set it in a skillet and warm it on both sides so the cheese melts inside.

My family and I loved this mayo-free chicken Caesar wrap. My husband asked me to make it again, which is always a good sign! What I love most is that it has no unnecessary bad fats. Adjust the filling however you like — add more greens or other vegetables, such as cucumbers. You can toss some sesame seeds in while the chicken cooks, and napa cabbage works in place of the lettuce. Add mustard to the sauce if that's your thing — or, for a richer version, use store-bought Caesar dressing with pickles and croutons. Either way, it'll be delicious! Best of all, it doesn't take much time or any special skills. Definitely try making a mayo-free Caesar wrap yourself — it comes out tastier, healthier, and cheaper than store-bought.
How do you pick good lavash? First, check the production date on the package and skip anything past its date. Fresh lavash should smell pleasant, with no spots or signs of mold.
Since everyone's taste for salty, sweet, bitter, spicy, sour, and hot is different, always add spices and seasonings to your own liking. And if you're using a seasoning for the first time, remember that some — chili pepper, for example — are especially easy to overdo.
Keep in mind that soy sauce is quite salty, so cut back on the total amount of salt or you may over-season the dish.
