Ingredients

• Cooked chicken breast (grilled, roasted, or rotisserie, sliced or shredded)
• Romaine lettuce (chopped)
• Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)

6. Slice in half and serve immediately, or wrap in foil for an on-the-go meal.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes 2 large wraps or 4 smaller ones.
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 5 minutes (if toasting)
Total time: 15 minutes

Variations

• Grilled version: Use freshly grilled chicken for smoky flavor.
• Spicy Caesar wrap: Add a drizzle of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
• Vegetarian version: Replace chicken with chickpeas or crispy tofu.
• Low-carb option: Use lettuce leaves or low-carb tortillas instead of flour wraps.
• Greek twist: Substitute Caesar dressing with Greek yogurt dressing and add diced cucumbers.

Storage/Reheating

Wrap the prepared chicken Caesar wraps tightly in foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 1 day. For best texture, store the filling and tortillas separately and assemble just before serving. If toasting, reheat briefly in a skillet to restore crispness. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the wrap soggy.

FAQs

Can I use rotisserie chicken?

Yes, it’s a quick and flavorful shortcut for this recipe.

How do I keep the wrap from getting soggy?

Add the dressing right before assembling and layer lettuce between the chicken and tortilla to absorb excess moisture.

What kind of Caesar dressing works best?

Use your favorite store-bought or homemade version — creamy dressings cling best to the lettuce and chicken.

Can I make these wraps ahead of time?

You can prep the filling in advance but assemble the wraps just before serving for the best crunch.

What can I use instead of croutons?

Try crispy chickpeas or crushed pita chips for extra crunch.

Are these wraps good for meal prep?

Yes! Keep components separate in containers and assemble each wrap when ready to eat.

Can I make it gluten-free?

Use gluten-free tortillas and croutons to make the recipe fully gluten-free.

Can I use a different cheese?

Parmesan gives the best flavor, but Romano or Asiago also work well.

How can I make it healthier?

Use a light Caesar dressing and whole-grain tortillas to reduce calories and increase fiber.

Can I serve it warm?

Yes, lightly toast the wrap for a warm, crispy version that melts the cheese slightly.
