Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love this wrap because it’s a no-fuss way to enjoy one of my favorite salads in a portable, mess-free form. It’s creamy, crunchy, and packed with protein, making it a well-rounded and filling option when I want something fresh but hearty. It’s also super easy to prep ahead for busy days.

ingredients

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

  • Cooked chicken breast or rotisserie chicken, sliced or shredded
  • Romaine lettuce, chopped
  • Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)
  • Grated or shaved Parmesan cheese
  • Croutons, crushed (optional for crunch)
  • Large flour tortillas or wraps
  • Black pepper (to taste)

directions

  1. I warm the tortillas slightly to make them more pliable.

  2. In a bowl, I toss the chopped romaine with Caesar dressing until evenly coated.

  3. I add the sliced or shredded chicken, Parmesan, and crushed croutons (if using), and toss everything together.

  4. I spoon the mixture into the center of each tortilla.

  5. I fold in the sides and roll up tightly to form a wrap.

  6. I slice in half and serve immediately, or wrap it in foil for later.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes 2 to 4 wraps, depending on tortilla size, and takes just 15–20 minutes to prepare. It’s perfect for a quick lunch or easy dinner.

Variations

  • I use grilled or blackened chicken for more flavor.

  • Sometimes I add avocado slices for richness.

  • For a spicy version, I stir a little hot sauce or sriracha into the Caesar dressing.

  • I swap romaine for kale or spinach if that’s what I have on hand.

storage/reheating

If I’m packing these wraps ahead, I keep the filling and tortillas separate until ready to eat to avoid sogginess. Once assembled, I wrap them tightly in foil or parchment and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. I don’t reheat them—these are best served cold or at room temperature.

FAQs

Can I use store-bought rotisserie chicken?

Yes, and I often do—it’s fast, flavorful, and saves me a step.

What’s the best tortilla to use?

I like using large flour tortillas or whole wheat wraps for better hold. Spinach or tomato wraps add a nice color twist.

Can I make this wrap dairy-free?

Yes, I use a dairy-free Caesar dressing and skip or replace the Parmesan with a plant-based alternative.

How do I keep the wrap from getting soggy?

I dry the lettuce thoroughly and avoid over-dressing the salad. Assembling right before eating helps keep everything crisp.

Can I make it vegetarian?

Definitely. I use chickpeas, crispy tofu, or grilled veggies instead of chicken for a delicious meatless option.

Conclusion

This Chicken Caesar Wrap is a fresh, flavorful way to enjoy a classic salad in wrap form. It’s creamy, crunchy, and full of savory goodness—ideal for quick meals, packed lunches, or easy dinners. Once I started making these, they quickly became a staple in my weekly routine.
