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

I warm the tortillas slightly to make them more pliable.
In a bowl, I toss the chopped romaine with Caesar dressing until evenly coated.
I add the sliced or shredded chicken, Parmesan, and crushed croutons (if using), and toss everything together.
I spoon the mixture into the center of each tortilla.
I fold in the sides and roll up tightly to form a wrap.
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.
