Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
• Romaine lettuce (chopped, about 3 cups)
• Cooked chicken (about 1½ cups, grilled, rotisserie, or oven-baked)
• Caesar dressing (⅓ cup, store-bought or homemade)
• Parmesan cheese (⅓ cup, finely grated)
• Croutons (½ cup, crushed slightly for easier wrapping)
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 4 large flour tortillas or wraps (10-inch size)

Directions

In a large bowl, I mix the chopped romaine, chicken, Caesar dressing, Parmesan cheese, and crushed croutons. I season it with salt and pepper to taste.
I warm each tortilla in a skillet over medium heat for 15–30 seconds per side, just until flexible.
I divide the salad mixture evenly between the tortillas, placing it in the center of each.
I fold in the sides and roll tightly like a burrito, securing with a toothpick if needed.
I slice the wraps in half or keep them whole, depending on how I’m serving them.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes 4 wraps. It takes about 15 minutes total—including chopping, mixing, and assembling—making it a perfect quick lunch or weeknight dinner.

Variations

I sometimes add sliced grape tomatoes or thinly sliced cucumbers for extra freshness.
If I want a little kick, I mix a dash of hot sauce or Dijon mustard into the dressing.
Whole wheat or spinach tortillas give a heartier or greener option.
Swapping the croutons for roasted chickpeas gives a similar crunch with added nutrition.
For a dairy-free version, I use a vegan Caesar dressing and skip the Parmesan.

Storage/reheating

These wraps are best fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator, wrapped tightly, for up to 6–8 hours. I don’t recommend storing longer as the dressing can make the lettuce soggy. Instead, I prep the components ahead of time and assemble the wraps just before eating.

FAQs

What’s the best chicken to use?

I go for cooked, cooled chicken breast—grilled or baked. Rotisserie chicken also works well and saves time.

Can I make this wrap vegetarian?

Yes, I skip the chicken and load up on more veggies or use grilled tofu or chickpeas for protein.

Should I crush the croutons before adding?

I like to break them up slightly so they fit better in the wrap and don’t tear the tortilla.

Can I use another type of lettuce?

Definitely. While romaine gives the classic crunch, I sometimes use mixed greens or spinach if that’s what I have.

What type of tortilla works best?

I prefer large flour tortillas because they roll easily and hold the filling well. Spinach or tomato wraps also add flavor and color.

Conclusion

I always enjoy how easy and delicious this Chicken Caesar Wrap is to put together. It’s a great way to turn a salad into something more filling, and I love how it travels well and pleases everyone at the table. Simple ingredients, quick prep, and loads of flavor—that’s why I keep coming back to this wrap.
