Unfortunately, he has some health issues that make him feel terrible whenever he eats one. We realized a few years back that it was the combination of the meat with the grain-filled bun that caused the issues—so we moved to bunless burgers, using sweet potato planks or lettuce leaves instead of buns. That worked, but it was messy and hard to control all the glorious burger toppings. Then, a few months back, I decided to put all the burger fixin’s into a big bowl salad instead. My burger-loving husband took one bite and then looked at me and said, “Can we please have these every week?” And since that day, we have! My husband gets to eat his “burger” and still feel great—the best of both worlds. So if your body feels better with a gluten-free, grain-free, paleo, or even Whole30 diet but you’re still missing your burgers—this is the recipe for you!

This soup is packed full of flavor, and thanks to a few shortcuts (hello, frozen veggies), it comes together in just a few minutes. Combine this soup with some crusty bread and a wedge salad for a perfect nourishing meal. For me, there is something about this combo that makes me all kinds of nostalgic—it just feels cozy. Neither of these recipes are particularly fancy, and you probably wouldn’t serve them to guests. But they are warm, comforting, and über-tasty (like the best comfort food always is).

What kind of beef is in this soup?

To make things easy, we’re using ground beef here—it’s easy to source, affordable, and it helps you get nice beef flavor in each bite. If you prefer, you can use beef stew meat for meatier chunks.

What kind of vegetables will I need?

The biggest shortcut here? Frozen mixed veggies! They save you tons of chopping and cooking time on the soup—and bonus, they are mega-affordable. You can grab a bag of organic frozen mixed veggies for less than $2. Steal.

I’m a big believer that there is nothing wrong with shortcuts—especially in the kitchen. Would it be better if we could all grow our own lettuce and churn our own butter? Maybe. But we can’t. Most of us don’t live in that world! My food philosophy (and life philosophy) is to do what you can with what you have when you have it. And let’s get real, sometimes, I just don’t have time to craft a meal from scratch—and that’s when the glory of kitchen shortcuts come in! These super Easy Chicken Caesar Wraps spotlight two of my favorite kitchen shortcuts—rotisserie chicken and pre-made salad dressing. Sure, you’ll save cash if you roasted your own chicken and made your own salad dressing, but sometimes you need to save time instead of cash, and that’s where semi-homemade cooking comes in! These chicken wraps are ready in less than five minutes, meaning you can get a healthy lunch packed or a light dinner on the table FAST.

Are these wraps good for meal prepping?

I am a big advocate of meal prepping—especially when your schedule is hectic! Just an hour or even a half-hour can make a BIG difference when it comes to having healthy, nourishing food available for you during the week. These Chicken Caesar Wraps are great for meal prepping, because you can pre-make the elements, and then just assemble it when it’s time to eat!

Won't the wrap get soggy if you make it in advance?

You can make these wraps a few hours in advance (like making it in the morning for lunch later), but if you want to prep ahead more than a few hours, I recommend making all the individual elements—mixing up the chicken, cutting the lettuce, etc.—and assembling right before you eat. A good tip for packing any sandwich or wrap of eating later—use lettuce as a barrier to keep your bread dry. I like to put the lettuce down first in these wraps, then the chicken and tomatoes on top.
