ingredients

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

Cooked chicken breast (grilled or rotisserie), sliced or shredded
Romaine lettuce, chopped
Caesar dressing
Parmesan cheese, shredded
Large flour tortillas or wraps
Croutons (optional, for crunch)
Fresh ground black pepper

directions

I start by warming the tortillas slightly to make them more pliable. A few seconds in the microwave or on a skillet works great.
I lay the tortilla flat and layer chopped romaine, cooked chicken, Parmesan, and a drizzle of Caesar dressing in the center.
If I want some extra crunch, I toss in a few croutons.
I season lightly with fresh black pepper.
Then, I fold in the sides and roll the tortilla tightly into a wrap.
I slice it in half on a diagonal for easier handling and serve immediately, or wrap it in foil for on-the-go meals.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes 4 wraps and takes about 15 minutes from start to finish. It’s perfect for busy weekdays or a simple weekend lunch.

Variations

I like to switch things up occasionally by substituting grilled shrimp or tofu for the chicken. Sometimes I mix in cherry tomatoes or avocado for extra color and flavor. For a spicier twist, I use chipotle Caesar dressing or add a dash of hot sauce.

storage/reheating

If I need to store leftovers, I keep the filling separate from the tortillas to prevent sogginess. The chicken Caesar mixture can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days. I reheat the chicken gently in the microwave before assembling fresh wraps.

FAQs

How do I keep my wraps from getting soggy?

I always make sure the lettuce is completely dry before adding it to the wrap. I also wait to add the dressing until just before rolling it up.

Can I make Chicken Caesar Wraps ahead of time?

Yes, I often prep the ingredients in advance. I just store the components separately and assemble when ready to eat for best texture.

What’s the best chicken to use?

Grilled chicken breast or store-bought rotisserie chicken works perfectly. I just make sure it’s seasoned well and sliced thinly.

Are these wraps good for meal prep?

Definitely. I prepare the filling in bulk and keep tortillas on hand. Then I can quickly roll one up for lunch or dinner throughout the week.

Can I use a different type of lettuce?

Sure, though I prefer romaine for its crunch. Iceberg or green leaf lettuce can also work if that’s what I have on hand.

Conclusion

Chicken Caesar Wraps are a delicious, portable take on a classic salad. I love how easy they are to make and how customizable they can be. Whether I’m packing lunch or looking for a light dinner, this recipe always satisfies.
