Chicken Caesar Wrap

A Chicken Caesar Wrap is a delicious and satisfying handheld version of the classic Caesar salad, rolled into a soft tortilla for a quick, flavorful meal. Packed with tender chicken, crisp romaine lettuce, creamy Caesar dressing, and grated parmesan, this wrap is perfect for lunch, dinner, or even a grab-and-go option when I’m short on time.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love how easy and flexible this wrap is. It brings all the flavor of a Caesar salad, but in a way that’s portable and filling. I can prep the ingredients ahead and assemble in minutes. Whether I’m making it for a quick lunch or packing it up for a picnic, it always delivers that satisfying crunch and creamy, savory taste I crave.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• Cooked chicken breast (grilled, shredded, or rotisserie-style)
• Romaine lettuce (chopped)
• Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)
• Parmesan cheese (shredded or grated)
• Tortilla wraps (large, soft)
• Optional: croutons (crushed), black pepper, bacon bits, or lemon juice

Directions

1. I start by warming the tortilla wraps slightly in the microwave or a dry skillet to make them more pliable.
2. In a large bowl, I toss the chopped romaine with Caesar dressing until well coated.
3. I add in the cooked chicken and grated parmesan, then toss everything together again.
4. If I’m using extras like crushed croutons , I mix those in at this point.
5. I spoon the filling onto the center of each tortilla, fold in the sides, and roll it up tightly like a burrito.
6. I serve the wraps whole or sliced in half, depending on the occasion.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes 2 large wraps or 4 smaller halves and takes about 15 minutes to prepare from start to finish. It’s great for a fast lunch or a light dinner.

Variations

Sometimes I swap the chicken for grilled shrimp or turkey. For a lighter version, I use Greek yogurt-based Caesar dressing or skip the cheese. If I want extra crunch, I add thinly sliced cucumbers or red onions. I’ve even made a spicy version with a few dashes of hot sauce or a spicy Caesar dressing.

Storage/Reheating

Chicken Caesar Wraps are best eaten fresh, but I store any extras in the fridge wrapped tightly in foil or plastic wrap for up to 1 day. To prevent sogginess, I keep the filling and wraps separate until I’m ready to eat. These wraps aren’t great for reheating, so I enjoy them cold or room temperature.

FAQs

Can I make these wraps ahead of time?

Yes, but I prefer assembling them just before eating to keep the wrap from getting soggy. I store the filling and wraps separately if prepping ahead.

What kind of chicken works best?

I like using grilled chicken breast, but rotisserie chicken or even leftover roasted chicken works great too.

Is Caesar dressing safe if it has raw eggs?

Most store-bought Caesar dressings use pasteurized eggs or are egg-free. If I’m making homemade dressing, I make sure to use pasteurized eggs or egg-free recipes.

Can I use a different kind of lettuce?

Definitely. While romaine gives the best crunch and classic Caesar flavor, I’ve used kale, iceberg, or even spinach when I have them on hand.

Are these wraps good for kids?

Yes, they’re very kid-friendly. I sometimes use a milder dressing and cut the wraps into smaller portions for easier eating.

Conclusion

Chicken Caesar Wraps are one of my favorite go-to meals when I want something quick, tasty, and satisfying. They’re simple to make, easy to customize, and full of flavor. Whether I’m making lunch for myself or serving up something quick for the family, these wraps always hit the mark.
