This recipe works great with Smokey Red but will be delicious with any Pasture Project Flavor. You don’t have to make the Caesar dressing from scratch, a high quality store bought dressing will work great!


Ingredients:

For the Caesar Dressing:

    • 2 large egg yolks
    • 6 anchovy filets, minced
    • 1 garlic clove, minced
    • 3/4 cup red wine vinegar
    • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
    • 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
    • 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
    • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
    • Salt and black pepper to taste

 

For the Chicken:

 

For the Wrap:

    • 4 large flour tortillas
    • 2 cups gem lettuce, washed and torn into bite-sized pieces
    • 2 heirloom tomatoes, sliced
    • Olive oil-toasted croutons (made from day-old bread)
    • Shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

 

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Olive Oil-Toasted Croutons:
      • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
      • Tear day-old bread into bite-sized pieces and place them on a baking sheet.
      • Drizzle with olive oil, toss to coat, and toast in the oven for about 10-15 minutes or until they are golden brown.
      • Remove from the oven and let them cool. Roughly chop them into breadcrumbs.
  2. Prepare the Caesar Dressing:
      • In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, minced anchovy fillets, minced garlic, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard.
      • Slowly drizzle in the extra-virgin olive oil while continuously whisking until the dressing is emulsified.
      • Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and season with salt and black pepper.
  3. Cook the Chicken:
      • Cook the Pasture Project Smokey Red chicken breasts following the instructions on the package.
  4. Assemble the Wraps:
      • In a large bowl, toss the torn gem lettuce with the homemade Caesar dressing until well coated.
      • Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for about 20 seconds to make them pliable.
      • Lay out a tortilla and add the dressed gem lettuce, sliced heirloom tomatoes, sliced Pasture Project Smokey Red chicken, shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, and a sprinkle of olive oil-toasted croutons.
  5. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly to form a wrap.
  6. Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas.
