Keto Caesar Chicken Cheese Wrap
If you’re obsessed with Caesar salad like we are, you should add this Caesar wrap recipe to your meal plan. Monterey Jack cheese is melted and manipulated into “flatbread,” then stuffed with grilled chicken, Keto Caesar sauce, and a lot of lettuce. The recipe is prepared in under 30 minutes and makes for the best lunch or a light midweek dinner.
How to make the Caesar sauce?
This sauce has all the flavors of Caesar dressing but is thicker. If you use regular Caeser dressing, it will ooze out of the wrap. Olive oil is an essential part of a Caesar dressing, but we have omitted it since it would thin out the sauce. Instead, we use olive oil mayonnaise to maintain the original flavor. Mix the mayo, lemon juice, mustard, anchovy paste, garlic powder, grated parmesan, and salt in a bowl. Store any extra sauce in a jar and use it in other Keto sandwich wraps.
Can you use another cheese for the wrap?
If you do not want to use Monterey Jack cheese, you can replace it with other types. Feel free to experiment with mozzarella, provolone, cheddar, or pepper jack cheese. You can use shredded or pre-sliced to ensure uniform wraps.
How can you customize this Keto sandwich recipe?
You can prepare the same cheese wrap but fill it with different ingredients. Consider keeping the grilled chicken and swapping the Caesar dressing for sugar-free barbeque sauce, hot sauce, or blue cheese dressing. You can swap the chicken for leftover steak, shredded chicken, or sauteed vegetables. You can even make it into a breakfast sandwich wrap by adding scrambled eggs, avocado, and bacon.

I have no idea why the cheese isn’t sticking together it falls apart should I have put something in it to make it stick together?

You can also purchase pre-made cheese wraps made by Crystal Farms.

Try fresh grated Monterey Jack. The bagged pre grated kinds are coated in starch so the pieces don’t stick in the packaging, also makes it so it doesn’t melt full to bind with other pieces that are melting.
