Introduction

Chicken Caesar wraps are a quick and tasty meal perfect for busy days. Combining crisp romaine, savory chicken, and creamy Caesar dressing, these wraps deliver classic flavors in an easy handheld form.

Three tightly rolled wraps cut in half show three layers inside: a pale beige tortilla on the outside, a middle layer of green leafy lettuce with some white shredded cheese, and an inner layer of golden brown crispy chicken pieces. Creamy white sauce is drizzled over the chicken and lettuce. The wraps are stacked with two halves on the bottom and one on top, placed on crumpled parchment paper over a white marbled surface. In the background, there is a small glass bowl of light tan sauce and some scattered golden croutons. The image is bright and clear, with a soft focus on the background elements. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

3 cups chopped romaine lettuce
1 1/2 cups chopped cooked chicken (grilled, fried, or rotisserie)

1/3 cup Caesar dressing
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup homemade croutons
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

4 flour tortillas or wraps (10-inch)

Instructions

Step 1: In a large bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, cooked chicken, Caesar dressing, Parmesan cheese, and croutons. Use tongs to toss everything well. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust dressing amount if needed and set aside.
Step 2: Warm the flour tortillas in a large pan over medium heat for 15 to 30 seconds per side until pliable. Alternatively, microwave them between paper towels for 15 to 30 seconds. Keep them warm covered with a kitchen towel.

Step 3: Lay the warm tortillas flat on a clean surface. Divide the Caesar salad mixture evenly in the center of each tortilla. Fold in the opposite sides, then roll up like a burrito. Secure with a toothpick if desired. Cut in half or serve whole.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, add crispy bacon bits or substitute the Caesar dressing with a garlic yogurt sauce.
Using rotisserie chicken saves prep time and adds great flavor.

Try whole wheat or spinach tortillas for a nutritious twist.
Homemade croutons add a fresh crunch but store-bought works fine too.

Storage

Store any leftover wraps tightly wrapped in plastic wrap or in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To keep the tortilla from getting soggy, consider wrapping the filling separately and assembling right before eating. Reheat briefly in a warm pan if desired but be cautious as the lettuce may wilt.

How to Serve

FAQs

Can I use other types of lettuce?

Yes, romaine is ideal for its crunch and flavor, but you can substitute with kale, iceberg, or mixed salad greens if preferred.

Is this recipe good for meal prep?

It works well if you keep components separate and assemble fresh wraps when ready to eat. This prevents the tortillas from becoming soggy and keeps the ingredients fresh.
