Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Cooked chicken breast, sliced or shredded (grilled, baked, or rotisserie)
Romaine lettuce, chopped
Caesar dressing
Grated or shaved Parmesan cheese
Croutons, slightly crushed
Large flour tortillas or wraps
Salt and black pepper (to taste)
Optional: cherry tomatoes, or avocado slices

Directions

In a mixing bowl, I combine the chopped romaine, cooked chicken, Caesar dressing, and Parmesan cheese.
I toss everything together until evenly coated.
I gently mix in crushed croutons for added crunch.
I lay a tortilla flat and spoon the mixture down the center.
I fold in the sides and roll up the wrap tightly.
If I’m serving it warm, I toast the wrap in a dry skillet for a few minutes on each side until golden and lightly crisp.
I slice it in half and serve immediately.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes 2–3 wraps.
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 0–5 minutes (if toasting)
Total time: 10–15 minutes

Variations

Sometimes I add sliced avocado or cherry tomatoes for extra freshness. If I want more protein. When I want a lighter version, I use low-fat dressing or swap the tortilla for a lettuce wrap. I’ve also made it with grilled shrimp or tofu instead of chicken for a fun twist.

storage/reheating

I store the filling separately from the tortillas if I’m making this ahead of time, so the wraps don’t get soggy. The mixed filling keeps in the fridge for up to 2 days. If I’ve already wrapped them, I eat them within a day and keep them tightly wrapped in foil or plastic. Reheating isn’t usually necessary unless I’m toasting the wrap before serving.

FAQs

What kind of chicken works best?

I usually use grilled or rotisserie chicken because it’s quick and flavorful. Leftover baked or pan-seared chicken also works great.

Can I use store-bought Caesar dressing?

Yes, I use my favorite store-bought brand for convenience, but homemade dressing adds extra flavor if I have time.

How do I keep the wrap from getting soggy?

I wait to add the dressing until just before assembling and eat the wrap soon after. Storing ingredients separately helps a lot.

Are croutons necessary?

I like the crunch they add, but I’ve skipped them before or replaced them with toasted breadcrumbs or seeds for a different texture.

Can I make this wrap low-carb?

Yes, I swap the tortilla for a lettuce wrap or use a low-carb tortilla to keep things lighter.

Conclusion

The chicken Caesar wrap is a quick, flavorful meal I can throw together anytime. It’s creamy, crunchy, and always hits the spot—whether I’m packing lunch or making a casual dinner. With just a few ingredients and endless ways to customize it, this wrap is a reliable favorite that never gets boring.
