I love how this Chicken Caesar Wrap takes everything I adore about a classic Caesar salad—crisp romaine, creamy dressing, Parmesan, croutons, and chicken—and makes it portable and fun by wrapping it all in a 10-inch tortilla. It’s an ideal easy lunch or light dinner.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I always end up making this when I crave something both fresh and satisfying. It’s so simple to prepare—even better when I can prep the components ahead of time. I love that it’s handheld, perfect for packing into a picnic, lunchbox, or just enjoying poolside. My whole family devours them.

Ingredients

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

Romaine lettuce, chopped
Cooked chicken, chopped (grilled, fried, or rotisserie)
Caesar dressing
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Croutons, homemade or store-bought
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Large flour tortillas or wraps (10-inch)

Directions

In a large bowl, I toss together the chopped romaine, chicken, Caesar dressing, Parmesan, and croutons. I season with salt and pepper, taste, and add more dressing if needed.
I warm each tortilla for about 15–30 seconds per side in a skillet or microwave until pliable. Then I keep them warm under a kitchen towel.
I lay each warm tortilla on a clean surface, scoop in the salad mixture, fold in the sides, and roll it burrito-style. Sometimes I use a toothpick to secure it, then I slice it in half if desired and serve.

Servings and timing

Servings: 4 wraps
Prep time: 15 minutes
Total time: 15 minutes (using pre-cooked chicken)

Variations

I like to add halved grape tomatoes or chopped tomatoes for extra freshness
Roasted red peppers or artichoke hearts give a flavorful twist
Avocado slices bring creaminess
I sometimes swap in spinach or whole wheat tortillas for variety
If I prefer less crunch, I crush the croutons or skip them entirely
I often serve extra Caesar dressing on the side for dipping

storage/reheating

I find these wraps taste best the day I make them. They keep well, wrapped tightly in an airtight container, in the fridge for up to 6–8 hours. After that, they tend to get soggy. To prep ahead, I store the components separately—lettuce, chicken, dressing—in containers and assemble the wraps when ready to eat. That keeps them crisp.

FAQs

Can I prep these wraps in advance?

I prep components ahead like chopping lettuce and cooking chicken, but I assemble just before serving to keep the wraps from getting soggy.

What chicken works best?

I’ve used everything from rotisserie to grilled or fried chicken. Rotisserie is a great shortcut and gives great flavor.

Can I use store-bought Caesar dressing and croutons?

Absolutely—I’ve done both for convenience. But homemade versions add amazing flavor and crunch, so I recommend them whenever I can.

How can I prevent the wrap from falling apart?

I make sure to fold in the sides before rolling tightly burrito-style. If needed, I secure with a toothpick. Warming the tortilla also helps it stay rolled.

Can I make these gluten-free or dairy-free?

Yes! I swap in gluten-free tortillas, and use dairy-free Parmesan or simply omit the cheese. I still love the taste and texture.

Conclusion

I truly enjoy how effortless and flexible this Chicken Caesar Wrap is. It’s crunchy, creamy, and full of flavor—and it travels beautifully. Whether I’m meal-prepping, packing lunch, or looking for an easy dinner, this wrap always hits the spot. I’m sure it’ll become a staple in your kitchen too.
