Chicken Caesar Salad Wraps
Tender grilled or rotisserie chicken, crisp romaine, creamy Caesar dressing, and Parmesan cheese are wrapped in soft tortillas (or flatbreads) for a simple, delicious wrap that takes minutes to make.
Time:
Prep: 10 minutes
Cook: 10 minutes
Total: 15–20 minutes
Ingredients:
For the Wraps:
2 cups cooked chicken breast, sliced or shredded (grilled, baked, or rotisserie)
4 large flour tortillas or wraps (whole wheat or low-carb if preferred)
4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)
½ cup halved cherry tomatoes (optional)
Croutons, crushed slightly (optional for crunch)
Instructions:
1. Prep the Filling:
In a bowl, toss chopped romaine with Caesar dressing and Parmesan.
Add in sliced chicken and tomatoes (if using). Mix until evenly coated.
2. Assemble the Wraps:
Lay tortillas flat. Divide the salad mixture evenly among them.
Sprinkle with crushed croutons for crunch (optional).
Roll tightly like a burrito — fold in the sides, then roll from the bottom up.
3. Optional Toasting:
For a warm, crispy finish, lightly toast the wrapped tortillas in a dry skillet for 1–2 minutes per side.
Notes & Tips:
Shortcut: Use store-bought rotisserie chicken to save time.
Wrap Hack: Layer lettuce first to keep the tortilla from getting soggy.
For extra protein, add a hard-boiled egg (sliced) to the filling.
Make it low-carb by wrapping in large romaine or collard leaves instead of tortillas.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I make these ahead of time?
A: Yes, but for best texture, wrap without dressing and add it right before eating. Or tightly wrap in foil and store in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
Q: What Caesar dressing is best?
A: A Greek yogurt-based Caesar is a lighter option. Homemade versions using anchovy paste, lemon, Dijon, and Parmesan offer the most flavor.
Q: Can I make it vegetarian?
A: Yes — replace chicken with roasted chickpeas or grilled tofu.
