Description
This easy Chicken Caesar Wrap is a quick and healthy meal that wraps all the bold, creamy, and crunchy flavors of a classic Caesar salad into a satisfying handheld lunch or dinner option.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups chopped romaine lettuce
- 1½ cups chopped cooked chicken (grilled, fried, or rotisserie)
- ⅓ cup Caesar dressing
- ⅓ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup homemade croutons
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 4 large (10-inch) flour tortillas or wraps
Instructions
- Make the Salad Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, cooked chicken, Caesar dressing, grated Parmesan cheese, and croutons. Toss everything together with tongs until well coated. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed, and adjust the amount of dressing to your liking.
- Warm the Tortillas: Gently heat the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 15 to 30 seconds on each side, or microwave them between paper towels for 15 to 30 seconds. Warming makes them easier to fold without tearing.
- Assemble the Wraps: Place a warmed tortilla on a clean surface and spoon the Caesar mixture into the center. Fold in the sides, then roll up tightly like a burrito to seal the filling inside. Use a toothpick to help hold it together if needed.
- Serve and Enjoy: Cut each wrap in half for easy handling, or serve them whole. They’re best enjoyed immediately for maximum freshness and crunch.
Notes
- To make this wrap lighter, use a yogurt-based or vegan Caesar dressing. Homemade croutons provide a better texture and taste, but store-bought ones can be crushed slightly for easier bites. For extra flavor, consider adding sliced cherry tomatoes, avocado, bacon bits, or roasted red peppers. Store the ingredients separately and assemble just before eating to avoid sogginess.
