Introduction

Chicken Caesar wraps are a quick and satisfying meal perfect for lunch or a light dinner. Combining tender chicken, crisp romaine, and creamy Caesar dressing wrapped in a soft tortilla, they offer a delicious twist on the classic salad.

The image shows three wraps stacked together on white crumpled paper over a white marbled texture, each cut in half to reveal their inside layers clearly; the outermost layer is a soft, light beige tortilla wrap, next inside is a mix of pale green chopped lettuce with some darker green bits, followed by chunks of light golden-brown crispy breaded chicken, creamy white sauce drizzled generously over the chicken and lettuce, and a sprinkling of finely shredded white cheese on top. In the background, blurred but visible is a small clear bowl filled with creamy dipping sauce and some golden-brown croutons resting nearby. 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 with extra dressing if desired, then set aside.
Step 2: Warm the tortillas in a large pan over medium heat for 15 to 30 seconds per side until they are pliable. Keep them warm by placing on a plate covered with a kitchen towel. Alternatively, warm tortillas in the microwave between paper towels for 15 to 30 seconds.
Step 3: Lay the warm tortillas flat and divide the Caesar salad mixture equally in the center of each. Fold the opposite sides of the tortilla inwards, then roll up tightly like a burrito. Secure with a toothpick if needed. Cut the wraps in half or serve whole.

Tips & Variations

For extra crunch, add sliced cucumbers or bell peppers to the filling.
Swap the flour tortillas for whole wheat or spinach wraps for added nutrition.
Use leftover roasted or shredded chicken to save time.
Make homemade Caesar dressing for a fresher flavor.

Storage

Store any leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To prevent sogginess, keep the tortilla and filling separate if possible and assemble just before eating. Reheat briefly in a warm pan if preferred, but these wraps are best enjoyed fresh.

How to Serve

Six wraps are cut in halves and placed on white paper inside a white plate with black speckles, resting on a wooden board over a white marbled texture. Each wrap has a soft, lightly toasted beige tortilla outer layer, filled with chunks of grilled chicken, green lettuce, crispy brown croutons, and creamy white dressing, some topped with grated cheese. Around the wraps are golden brown croutons scattered inside and outside the plate. In the middle of the plate, there is a small glass bowl filled with thick light beige dressing with sprinkled black pepper. A metal grater with a wooden handle is near the bottom left corner, and a grey and white striped cloth is partly visible in the upper right corner. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use other types of lettuce?

Yes, romaine is traditional for Caesar salads, but you can substitute with iceberg or mixed greens if desired.

What can I use instead of croutons?

If you don’t have croutons on hand, toasted nuts or crispy pita chips make a great crunchy alternative.

Ingredients

Scale

Salad Filling

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, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Wraps

4 flour tortillas or wraps (10-inch)

Instructions

Prepare the Salad Mixture: In a large bowl, combine chopped romaine lettuce, cooked chicken, Caesar dressing, grated Parmesan cheese, and homemade croutons. Use tongs to toss everything together thoroughly. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Adjust dressing amount if desired. Set aside.
Warm the Tortillas: Heat a large pan over medium heat. Warm each flour tortilla in the pan for about 15 to 30 seconds on each side, just until they are soft and pliable. Alternatively, warm the tortillas in the microwave between paper towels for 15 to 30 seconds. Keep the warmed tortillas covered with a kitchen towel to preserve softness.
Assemble the Wraps: Lay the warmed tortillas on a clean surface. Divide the prepared Caesar salad mixture evenly down the center of each tortilla. Fold in the opposite sides of the tortilla, then roll it up burrito-style to enclose the filling securely. Optionally, insert a toothpick to keep them closed.
Serve: Cut the wraps in half if desired or serve them whole. Enjoy immediately for best texture and flavor.

Notes

Use cooked chicken of your preference: grilled, fried, or rotisserie for convenience.
Homemade croutons add extra crunch but store-bought croutons can be used as well.
Adjust Caesar dressing quantity according to your taste preference for creaminess.
Warming the tortillas makes them more flexible and prevents cracking when wrapping.
These wraps are best eaten fresh but can be stored wrapped in plastic wrap and refrigerated for up to one day.
