Description
A handheld twist on the classic Caesar salad, this Chicken Caesar Wrap layers romaine lettuce, cooked chicken, Parmesan cheese, Caesar dressing, and crunchy croutons in a soft tortilla for a satisfying, portable meal.
Ingredients
- 3 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1½ cups cooked chicken, chopped (grilled, rotisserie, or fried)
- ⅓ cup Caesar dressing (homemade or store-bought)
- ⅓ cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- ½ cup croutons (homemade or store-bought)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 4 large flour tortillas or wraps (10‑inch)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, toss together romaine, chopped chicken, Caesar dressing, Parmesan, and croutons. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adding more dressing if needed.
- Warm each tortilla over medium heat in a skillet for 15–30 seconds per side until pliable. Keep warm covered with a kitchen towel.
- Lay tortillas flat and divide the salad mixture among them, placing it in the center of each.
- Fold in the sides and roll tightly like a burrito. Secure with a toothpick if desired.
- Cut each wrap in half or serve whole. Enjoy immediately or pack for later.
Notes
- Crushing the croutons slightly helps prevent tearing the tortilla and makes eating easier.
- Wraps are best enjoyed the same day but can be stored for up to 6–8 hours in the fridge.
- Prep salad components ahead of time for quick assembly.
- To make it gluten-free, use GF tortillas, croutons, and dressing.
