Chicken Caesar Salad Wraps

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.
