Chicken Caesar Wraps

Chicken Caesar wraps instantly became my favorite quick lunch option after a busy day when I wanted something fresh and filling and I remember grabbing leftover grilled chicken some crisp romaine and my favorite creamy Caesar dressing then wrapping it all up in a warm tortilla and when I took that first bite it was so crisp juicy and tangy that I knew I had found a new go-to meal and ever since I’ve been making these wraps whenever I need something fast and satisfying without sacrificing flavor.

I love how chicken Caesar wraps combine tender juicy chicken crunchy lettuce and rich creamy dressing all wrapped up in a soft tortilla and I enjoy that they’re so easy to customize and perfect for meal prepping or taking on the go and I especially love seeing how excited everyone gets when they see these on the table because they’re just as fun to eat as they are to make.

Ingredients

• Here’s what I use for this recipe. You can always make substitutions if you prefer!
• Grilled or cooked chicken breast – The protein base that makes the wraps hearty and satisfying.
• Romaine lettuce – Adds crunch and freshness to every bite.
• Caesar dressing – Brings creamy, tangy, and savory flavor throughout.
• Parmesan cheese – Gives a salty, nutty kick to complement the dressing.
• Flour tortillas – Soft and flexible for wrapping everything neatly.
• Croutons (optional) – Adds an extra crunchy surprise inside.

Tools You’ll Need

• Knife and cutting board – To slice the chicken and chop the lettuce.
• Mixing bowl – For tossing the lettuce with dressing and cheese.
• Spoon or tongs – To help assemble the wraps evenly.
• Skillet or griddle – For warming the tortillas and adding a bit of char.
• Foil or parchment paper – If wrapping them for on-the-go meals.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the chicken

I start by slicing my cooked or grilled chicken breast into thin strips so it’s easy to layer inside the wrap.

Step 2: Toss the lettuce

In a mixing bowl, I toss chopped romaine lettuce with Caesar dressing and a generous sprinkle of Parmesan cheese until everything is well coated.

Step 3: Warm the tortillas

I like to warm the tortillas in a dry skillet for about 20 seconds on each side so they’re more pliable and taste fresh.

Step 4: Assemble the wraps

I lay a tortilla flat, add a generous handful of dressed lettuce in the center, then top with sliced chicken and optional croutons for extra crunch.

Step 5: Roll them up

I fold in the sides and roll the tortilla tightly from the bottom up, making sure everything stays secure inside.

Step 6: Serve

I slice the wrap in half on a diagonal for a nice presentation and serve immediately or wrap them up to take on the go.

Tips

If you want to add extra veggies, I sometimes toss in sliced tomatoes or avocado. You can also swap the Caesar dressing for a lighter yogurt-based version to make it healthier. For added flavor, I like seasoning the chicken with garlic powder or Italian herbs before grilling.

Ways to Serve

I love serving chicken Caesar wraps with a side of fruit, chips, or a light soup for a balanced meal. They’re also great for picnic lunches or meal prep since they hold up well in the fridge. You can even cut them into smaller pinwheels and serve them as appetizers!
