These Chicken Caesar Salad Wraps are a blend of juicy grilled chicken, crisp romaine lettuce, and creamy Caesar dressing, all wrapped in a soft tortilla. Each bite is a delightful mix of savory, crunchy, and creamy, making it an irresistible choice for a meal on the go.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced

  • 3 cups romaine lettuce, chopped

  • 1/2 cup Caesar dressing

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1/4 cup croutons, crushed

  • 4 large tortillas or wraps

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  • Prepare the Chicken: If using leftover chicken, shred or dice it into bite-sized pieces. If cooking fresh, grill or bake the chicken until fully cooked, then let it cool before slicing.
  • Mix the Salad: In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, chopped romaine lettuce, Caesar dressing, grated Parmesan cheese, and crushed croutons. Toss until everything is evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Assemble the Wraps: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon a portion of the chicken Caesar salad mixture onto the center of the tortilla. Fold in the sides and roll up from the bottom to create a tight wrap.
  • Serve: Cut the wraps in half and serve immediately, or wrap them in foil or parchment paper for a portable meal.

Notes

    Key Prep Tips

    1. Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, use freshly grilled or roasted chicken and crisp romaine lettuce.
    2. Warm the Tortillas: Briefly warm the tortillas in a skillet or microwave for easy folding and a softer texture.
    3. Prevent Sogginess: If prepping ahead, pack the chicken Caesar salad and tortillas separately, assembling just before eating.
    4. Even Distribution: Spread the dressing evenly across the tortilla before layering the ingredients to ensure consistent flavor in every bite.
    5. Customize the Wraps: Adjust the amount of dressing, cheese, or croutons to suit personal preferences or dietary needs.

    Suggested Variations

    1. Low-Carb Option: Swap the tortilla for large lettuce leaves to create lettuce wraps.
    2. Spicy Twist: Add a drizzle of hot sauce or sprinkle red chili flakes for a spicy kick.
    3. Extra Veggies: Include sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, or shredded carrots for added crunch and nutrition.
    4. Vegan-Friendly: Replace chicken with grilled tofu or chickpeas, and use a vegan Caesar dressing.
    5. Cheesy Upgrade: Use freshly shaved Parmesan or add a slice of provolone or mozzarella for a cheesy twist.

    Serving Suggestions

    1. Lunch on the Go: Wrap each assembled tortilla tightly in parchment paper or foil for a portable meal.
    2. Platter Presentation: Slice the wraps into halves or thirds and arrange them on a platter for parties or gatherings.
    3. Side Pairing: Serve with a side of veggie sticks, fruit salad, or baked chips for a balanced meal.
    4. Dipping Sauce: Offer additional Caesar dressing or a tangy yogurt-based dip on the side for dipping.
    5. Bento Box Addition: Include the wraps as the main item in a bento box along with nuts, fresh fruit, and a dessert.
