History and Origin of Chicken Caesar Wraps
Wraps are a very popular dish in quick and healthy cuisine, with roots that trace back to the fusion of different culinary cultures. This style of wrapped food became popular mainly in the United States during the last few decades, as a practical and versatile alternative to traditional sandwiches. The chicken Caesar wrap combines the classic flavors of Caesar salad with the convenience of an easy-to-eat food.
In Latin America, although there is no uniform name, similar dishes are often known as "chicken rolls" or simply "wraps," especially in countries like Mexico, Argentina, and Chile, where American influence has introduced this preparation. Caesar dressing, which originated in Mexico but was popularized in the United States, perfectly complements the chicken and romaine lettuce in these preparations.
