Chicken Caesar Wrap Recipe

Alright, let’s talk wraps. Not just any wraps — a Chicken Caesar Wrap that’s crisp, creamy, and packed with flavor. It’s like your favorite Caesar salad, but rolled up in a tortilla. No fork needed. No mess. Just pure, delicious convenience.

And the best part? You can make four of these in about ten minutes. Yep, ten minutes. That’s faster than waiting for takeout.

Why Use a Tortilla Instead of Croutons?

Good question. Because croutons are crunchy, sure — but tortillas? They’re crunchy and chewy. They hold everything together, and they make the wrap portable. Plus, you don’t have to worry about a crouton flying off and landing in your lap.

Author’s Notes

This recipe is one of those “why didn’t I think of that sooner?” moments. It’s Caesar salad, but wrapped up and ready to go. I first made it when I had leftover chicken and a half-used bottle of Caesar dressing. Instead of tossing it together in a bowl, I thought — wrap it up! And boom — lunch magic happened.

I love that it’s so flexible. You can dress it up, dress it down, or eat it cold out of the fridge. It’s a great lunch for work, a quick dinner, or even a grab-and-go snack if you’re rushing out the door.

Recipe Ingredients

Let’s break this down:

• 4 (10-inch) flour tortillas – or use whole wheat, pita, or even low-carb wraps if you’re watching your carbs. Go with what you like.
• ½ cup Caesar dressing + extra for serving – Make your own or buy it. Either way, a little extra on the side is a good idea. Dunking is fun.
• 4 cups shredded romaine lettuce – Fresh, crisp, and dry. No soggy greens here.
• 16 ounces cooked chicken – That’s about 4 cups. Use shredded or sliced — both work.
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese – Freshly grated is best. Don’t skip this — it’s what gives it that Caesar kick.

Can I Make My Own Caesar Dressing?

Absolutely. In fact, I highly recommend it if you’ve got five minutes and a whisk. It’s easy — just mayo, lemon juice, mustard, Parmesan, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix it up, taste it, tweak it. Store-bought works in a pinch, but homemade? That’s the stuff dreams are made of.

How to Make Chicken Caesar Wrap Recipe?

Step 1: Lay it out

Grab your tortillas and lay them flat on a clean surface. If you’re using cold wraps straight from the fridge, let them sit out for a few minutes so they’re a little more pliable.

Step 2: Dress it up

Spoon about 2 tablespoons of Caesar dressing onto each tortilla. Spread it out with the back of a spoon or a spatula. Don’t go crazy — just enough to coat and add flavor.

Step 3: Layer the greens

Add about a cup of shredded romaine to the center of each tortilla. Don’t pile it too high or you’ll have a hard time rolling it up later.

Step 4: Add chicken

Top each wrap with 4 ounces of cooked chicken. That’s about a quarter of the total chicken per wrap. Spread it out evenly.

Step 5: Sprinkle the cheese

Grate Parmesan over the top. Don’t be shy — a good amount adds flavor and texture.

Step 6: Roll it up

Now it’s time to roll. Fold the sides of the tortilla in slightly, then roll from the bottom up — like a burrito. Wrap each one tightly in plastic wrap or wax paper so it holds its shape.

Step 7: Chill and slice

Let them chill in the fridge for a bit if you’ve got time. When you’re ready to eat, unwrap and slice each wrap in half. Serve with extra dressing on the side for dipping.

Can I Meal Prep These?

You can , but keep in mind that the dressing might start to soak into the tortilla over time. So if you’re prepping for the week, wrap them tightly and eat within 1–2 days. Or hold off on the dressing until you’re ready to eat..

Recipe Tips and Variations

• Want it crunchier? Toss in some crushed croutons or chopped bacon before rolling. Or sprinkle a little on top for extra texture.
• Veggie version? Swap the chicken for grilled zucchini, bell peppers, or chickpeas. Add a little extra dressing and Parmesan for flavor.
• Spice it up. Add a few dashes of hot sauce, red pepper flakes, or a drizzle of sriracha mayo for a kick.
• Low-carb or gluten-free? Use low-carb wraps or lettuce wraps instead of tortillas. You can also skip the Parmesan if you’re dairy-free.
• Make it fancy. Add a few fresh herbs like parsley or chives for color and flavor. Or drizzle a little lemon zest over the top for brightness.

What kind of lettuce should I use?

Romaine is the Caesar standard — it’s crisp, it’s sturdy, and it’s got that classic bite. But hey, if romaine’s not in the fridge, don’t sweat it. Green leaf, iceberg, or even buttery Bibb or Boston lettuce will do just fine. Just make sure it’s fresh and dry — soggy lettuce ruins a wrap.
