Let’s Get Started! Here’s What You’ll Need:

Ingredients:

Leftover Salmon- This might require a touch of planning ahead, in that you don't want a flavor that really fights the Caesar components like say, a bbq sauce covered salmon. I'm using lemon pepper salmon here, but a dijon mustard salmon or blackened salmon would work really well too.

Flour Tortilla- Taco size flour tortillas are pictured here and make regular size wraps. You can use burrito size if you want to make a larger wrap with more filling. I'm using regular flour, but you can substitute whole wheat tortillas if you prefer a whole wheat wrap.

Salad Kit- despite the kit in my photo having bacon in it, we're just using the chopped romaine lettuce, shredded parmesan cheese, and Caesar dressing, so you can buy those individually if you prefer. Don't worry, the bacon bits got used as a chowder topping.

Equipment:

You'll need a small mixing bowl- or a large bowl if you're making a few- to combine the filling, along with a measuring spoon. You also probably need a knife and cutting board, especially if your romaine isn't already chopped- if it is you don't have to cut your wrap if you don't want to. It is your kitchen, after all.

How to Make These Salmon Caesar Wraps:

Step 1: Mix Salmon & Salad

If you’re using a food scale, this is 3 oz salmon and 2 oz of chopped romaine, which is essentially a large handful of lettuce. I make this all the time by eyeballing the ratios, but I used a food scale here to make sure I’m giving you accurate measurements. Add the dressing and parmesan, then mix until everything is well coated.  You don't have to chop the romaine if it didn't come that way- I like buying the chopped kit to skip that- but I do find it makes for more even bites when big chunks of lettuce aren't randomly trying to come out.

Step 2: Wrap the Tortilla

Place the mixture on the bottom third of the tortilla so you have some room to work folding it up. If you're packing it for lunch, consider wrapping it in parchment paper for easy handling. To fold, pinch in the sides and then roll from the bottom as tightly as you can, ending with the seam on the bottom so the weight of the wrap can help keep it together. Unfortunately I can't take a picture and fold with both hands at the same time, so you'll have to imagine here that my left hand is doing the same thing as my right below to start the wrapping.

Step 3: Serve & Enjoy

Cut on a diagonal for a pretty presentation, or just dive into it whole—I assure you I’ve done both. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container and eat within a day. The longer it sits, the more of the dressing will absorb into the tortilla and start to get soggy.
