Introduction

Chicken Caesar Wraps are a quick and satisfying lunch or dinner option that combines the crispness of romaine lettuce with tender chicken and creamy Caesar dressing, all wrapped up in a soft tortilla. Perfect for busy days, these wraps deliver classic Caesar salad flavors in an easy-to-eat form.

Three wrap halves stacked in a pyramid shape on crinkled parchment paper, each wrap showing four main layers: a soft, light beige tortilla outer layer; inside, pieces of grilled chicken with golden brown crusts; fresh light green leafy lettuce; and creamy white sauce drizzled over the filling, sprinkled with some shredded white cheese. In the background on a white marbled surface, there is a small glass bowl with light beige creamy sauce and some small golden brown croutons nearby, all softly blurred. 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 kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Adjust the dressing amount if needed, then set the mixture aside.
Step 2: Warm the flour tortillas in a large pan over medium heat for about 15 to 30 seconds per side until they become pliable. Alternatively, microwave them between paper towels for 15 to 30 seconds. Keep warm by covering with a kitchen towel.
Step 3: Lay the warmed tortillas on a clean surface. Divide the Caesar salad mixture evenly among them, placing it in the center of each tortilla. Fold in the opposite sides of the tortilla and roll it up burrito-style. Secure each wrap with a toothpick if desired. Cut in half or serve whole.

Tips & Variations

For extra crunch, add sliced cucumbers or bell peppers to the wrap filling.
Use whole wheat or spinach tortillas to add a nutritional boost.
Swap Caesar dressing for a lighter yogurt-based version to reduce calories.
Prepare the salad mix ahead and assemble wraps just before eating to keep them fresh.

Storage

Store assembled wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. To prevent sogginess, keep the dressing separate and add it just before serving. Reheat wrapped tortillas gently in a warm pan or eat cold, depending on your preference.

How to Serve

Three wraps are stacked in a pyramid shape on crinkled white paper over a white marbled surface. Each wrap has a soft beige tortilla folded around three main layers: the bottom layer shows crispy golden-brown breaded chicken pieces; above that is fresh, green, leafy lettuce with light veins and some shredded pale cheese; the top layer consists of creamy white dressing drizzled generously, some running slightly down the sides. In the blurred background, a white bowl with a creamy dipping sauce and some golden croutons are visible, adding context to the dish. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
