Chicken Caesar Wraps—Cool, Crunchy, and Protein-Packed
Chicken Caesar wraps are one of those effortlessly good meals that feel fancy but come together in minutes. You get everything you love about a classic Caesar salad—crisp romaine lettuce, juicy grilled chicken, parmesan cheese, and creamy Caesar dressing—all wrapped up in a soft flour tortilla for the ultimate grab-and-go lunch. It’s a chilled, crunchy, flavor-loaded wrap that works for quick dinners, packed lunches, or meal prep. Whether you’re keeping it simple or adding a few extra mix-ins, this recipe delivers that signature Caesar taste in every single bite—with a handheld twist.
Why You’ll Love These Caesar Wraps
They’re cool, refreshing, and totally satisfying without being heavy. The grilled or rotisserie chicken keeps things protein-packed, the romaine gives you a crisp, crunchy base, and the Caesar dressing coats everything in rich, creamy flavor. The wrap format makes it portable, mess-free, and perfect for busy days. Plus, you can switch up the protein, add extras like tomatoes or avocado, or use store-bought shortcuts for a quick meal that doesn’t feel like one.
Ingredients
• 2 cups chopped grilled chicken breast or rotisserie chicken
• 2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
• ½ cup Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)
• ¼ cup grated or shaved parmesan cheese
• ¼ cup croutons (crushed slightly for texture)
• 2 large burrito-size flour tortillas
• Optional: diced tomatoes, avocado, black pepper, grilled onions
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine chopped chicken, chopped romaine, parmesan cheese, and crushed croutons.
- Drizzle with Caesar dressing and toss everything together until evenly coated.
- Warm tortillas slightly to make them easier to roll—about 10–15 seconds in the microwave.
- Spoon half the filling into the center of each tortilla.
- Fold in the sides, then roll from the bottom up to create a tight wrap.
- Slice in half if desired and serve immediately, or wrap in foil for on-the-go.
Tips for the Best Chicken Caesar Wraps
Use freshly grilled or leftover rotisserie chicken for max flavor and convenience. Don’t overdo the dressing—just enough to coat. Use crushed croutons for crunch without poking holes in the wrap. For a chilled version, prep everything ahead and assemble right before eating. Want it warm? Use a panini press or skillet to toast the outside.
Variations
Swap the chicken for crispy chicken tenders or shredded turkey. Add diced tomatoes, avocado, or bacon bits for extra layers of flavor. Use spinach wraps or whole wheat tortillas for variety. Mix in kale or arugula for a more robust green base.
Make-Ahead and Storage
Prep the Caesar filling ahead and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days. Assemble wraps fresh for the best texture. If making wraps in advance, wrap tightly in foil or parchment and store for up to 24 hours—avoid adding croutons if prepping ahead to prevent sogginess.
Final Thoughts
Chicken Caesar wraps are the answer to those “I want something quick but satisfying” days. They’re creamy, crisp, filling, and endlessly flexible depending on your mood. Whether you’re packing lunch for work or serving a chilled dinner during warmer weather, these wraps always come through.
