Chicken Caesar Wraps (The Lunch You’ll Actually Crave)

Caesar salad is great. But eating it with a fork? Boring. Wrapping it in a warm, toasty tortilla and taking it on a walk? Genius.

This chicken Caesar wrap has it all: juicy chicken, crisp romaine, salty Parmesan, crunchy croutons, and that creamy, tangy Caesar dressing. Roll it up. Toast it if you’re fancy. Eat it with one hand while pretending to be productive.

Ingredients

Makes 2 large wraps.

• 2 large flour tortillas (10-12 inch)
• 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or chopped, rotisserie works great)
• 2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
• ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
• ¼ cup Caesar dressing (plus more for drizzling)
• ¼ cup croutons, crushed (for crunch)
• Optional: black pepper, lemon wedge, anchovies (if you’re brave)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Fillings

1. In a large bowl, toss chicken, romaine, Parmesan, and Caesar dressing until coated.
2. Add crushed croutons and toss gently (so they stay crunchy).

Step 2: Warm the Tortilla

1. Microwave tortillas for 10 seconds or warm in a dry skillet to make them pliable.

Step 3: Assemble

1. Spread a little extra Caesar dressing on the tortilla.
2. Pile the chicken Caesar mixture in the center.

Step 4: Roll It Tight

1. Fold in the sides, then roll from the bottom up, tucking firmly.
2. Should be snug but not bursting.

Step 5: Toast (Optional But Great)

1. Place wrap seam-side down in a dry skillet over medium heat.
2. Toast for 1-2 minutes per side until golden and sealed.

Step 6: Serve

1. Slice in half on a diagonal. Serve with extra Caesar for dipping.

Storage Notes

• Fridge: Wrapped tightly in foil, keeps for 1 day. Lettuce will soften, croutons won’t stay crunchy.
• Meal prep tip: Keep components separate (chicken, lettuce, dressing, croutons). Assemble fresh for best crunch.
• Make ahead: Cook chicken up to 3 days in advance. Chop lettuce and store in a bag with a paper towel.
• Crouton hack: Add them last or pack separately until you’re ready to eat.
