Ingredients Notes

The beauty of a Chicken Caesar Wrap lies in its straightforward yet flavorful ingredients. Each component works together to deliver that classic Caesar taste with a modern twist.
Chicken is the star of the wrap. Grilled or baked chicken breasts work beautifully here, offering a lean and tender protein option. If you’re in a hurry, pre-cooked rotisserie chicken is a fantastic time-saver.
Romaine lettuce brings crunch and freshness to the wrap. Choose the freshest leaves you can find, and wash them thoroughly to ensure maximum crispness.
Caesar dressing ties everything together. A good-quality store-bought dressing works perfectly, but if you have the time, homemade Caesar dressing takes this wrap to another level.
Parmesan cheese adds that unmistakable Caesar salad flavor. Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best texture and taste.
Tortillas are the perfect vessel for this recipe. Opt for large, soft flour tortillas to ensure they hold all the ingredients securely.
Finally, consider optional additions like croutons for extra crunch or a sprinkle of black pepper for a little kick. You’ll also need a sharp knife and a clean surface for assembling the wraps.
How To Make This Chicken Caesar Wrap

Making this wrap is as easy as assembling a salad, but with a deliciously portable twist.
Start by preparing your chicken. If you’re using raw chicken breasts, season them with salt, pepper, and a touch of garlic powder. Grill or pan-sear them over medium heat until fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes per side. Let them rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin strips.
While the chicken cooks, wash and dry your romaine lettuce. Chop it into bite-sized pieces and set it aside. If you’re adding croutons, crush them slightly for easier wrapping.
Lay out your tortilla on a flat surface. Spread a generous amount of Caesar dressing over the center of the tortilla, leaving the edges bare for easier folding.
Layer on the lettuce, chicken slices, and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. If you’re including extras like croutons or a drizzle of extra dressing, now’s the time to add them.
To wrap, fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it tightly from the bottom up. Ensure all the filling stays snugly inside. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and ingredients.
Your wraps are ready to enjoy! Serve them as-is or slice them in half for a more polished presentation.
Storage Options
Chicken Caesar Wraps are perfect for meal prep. Here’s how to store them to keep them fresh and tasty.
Wrap each prepared tortilla tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. This keeps them secure and prevents the tortillas from drying out.
Refrigerate the wrapped tortillas for up to 3 days. They’ll stay fresh and crisp, though for best results, store the lettuce separately and add it just before serving to maintain maximum crunch.
To reheat, unwrap the foil or plastic and microwave the wrap for about 30 seconds. This method works well if you prefer your wrap slightly warm, though they’re equally delicious cold.
Variations and Substitutions
The versatility of this recipe makes it easy to customize based on your preferences or dietary needs.
For a protein twist, swap out the chicken for grilled shrimp or sliced turkey. Both pair wonderfully with the Caesar dressing and crisp lettuce.
To make it vegetarian, replace the chicken with roasted chickpeas or grilled tofu. You’ll still get plenty of protein and texture in every bite.
Add extra veggies for more flavor and nutrients. Sliced avocado, cucumbers, or even a handful of cherry tomatoes can elevate the wrap while keeping it light.
For a spicier version, mix some hot sauce or chipotle mayo into the Caesar dressing. It’s a simple addition that adds a bold kick.
If you’re watching carbs, consider using lettuce leaves or a low-carb tortilla instead of the traditional wrap. It’s a lighter option that doesn’t skimp on taste.
Experiment with these ideas to make this Chicken Caesar Wrap truly your own. No matter how you customize it, it’s sure to become a favorite in your recipe rotation!
