Ingredients Notes

The magic of this Chicken Caesar Wrap lies in its simple yet flavorful ingredients. Each one contributes to the wrap's perfect balance of taste and texture.
Chicken: For the best results, use grilled or pan-seared chicken breast. Season it simply with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to enhance its natural flavor. Shredded rotisserie chicken works well too if you’re short on time.
Romaine Lettuce: Crisp and refreshing, romaine lettuce is the ideal green for this wrap. Chop it into bite-sized pieces for easy eating. If you prefer, iceberg lettuce or mixed greens can also be used.
Caesar Dressing: The creamy dressing ties everything together. Look for a high-quality store-bought version or make your own with mayonnaise, olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic. A touch of Parmesan cheese in the dressing adds an authentic Caesar flavor.
Parmesan Cheese: Freshly shaved Parmesan adds a nutty, savory depth to the wrap. While pre-shredded cheese is convenient, fresh Parmesan makes a noticeable difference in taste.
Tortillas: Use large, soft tortillas that are pliable and easy to roll. Whole wheat or spinach tortillas add a nutritional boost if you’re looking for a healthier option.
No special equipment is needed for this recipe—just a cutting board, a sharp knife, and a skillet if you’re cooking fresh chicken.
How To Make This Chicken Caesar Wrap

Crafting these delicious wraps is as simple as assembling a few key ingredients. Let’s break it down step by step.
Start by preparing your chicken. If you’re cooking fresh chicken breast, heat a skillet over medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then cook for 6-8 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips or dicing it.
While the chicken is cooking, wash and chop your romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Pat it dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to ensure it stays crisp.
Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of Caesar dressing over the center, leaving about an inch of space around the edges. Add a handful of chopped lettuce, a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, and the sliced chicken on top.
Carefully fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it tightly from the bottom up to form a wrap. The key to a neat wrap is not overfilling it—use just enough ingredients to allow for easy rolling.
Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and ingredients. Serve the wraps as they are, or slice them in half for a more elegant presentation.
These wraps come together in about 20 minutes, making them perfect for meal prep or last-minute meals.
Storage Options
Chicken Caesar Wraps are best enjoyed fresh, but they can be stored for later if needed. Wrap each one tightly in plastic wrap or foil to keep it fresh and prevent it from unrolling.
In the fridge, these wraps will stay fresh for up to 2 days. Store them in an airtight container or a resealable bag to maintain their texture.
If you’re packing them for lunch, include an ice pack to keep the wraps cool and the lettuce crisp. Avoid letting the wraps sit at room temperature for extended periods.
To reheat, unwrap the foil or plastic wrap and warm the tortilla briefly in a skillet or microwave. Note that reheating will soften the lettuce, so this method is best for wraps made without greens.
Variations and Substitutions
One of the best things about this recipe is how adaptable it is. You can easily switch up the ingredients to suit your taste or use what you have on hand.
For a spicier twist, add a drizzle of hot sauce or a sprinkle of red chili flakes to the Caesar dressing. A spicy ranch dressing could also be a fun alternative.
Swap the chicken for grilled shrimp or roasted vegetables for a completely different flavor profile. Thinly sliced beef or turkey breast are other great protein options.
Looking for a vegetarian version? Omit the chicken and add crispy chickpeas or roasted tofu for a plant-based protein boost.
For an extra crunch, toss in some croutons or crushed tortilla chips before wrapping. This adds a playful texture that pairs wonderfully with the creamy dressing.
Experiment with different cheeses like shredded mozzarella, feta, or cheddar to change up the flavor. You could also add extras like sliced avocado, cherry tomatoes, or thinly sliced red onions for more variety.
With so many ways to customize, this Chicken Caesar Wrap recipe is one you’ll never tire of. Give it a try and see how quickly it becomes a staple in your meal rotation!
