Ingredients You’ll Need
One of the best things about this Chicken Caesar Wrap Recipe is that it relies on a handful of simple, top-notch ingredients that work in harmony. Each plays an important role in delivering the taste and texture people crave in a classic Caesar, now in portable wrap form!
- Cooked chicken breast (2 cups, sliced or shredded): Opt for rotisserie chicken or leftover grilled chicken for extra flavor and ultimate convenience.
- Caesar dressing (1/4 cup): Use your favorite store-bought or homemade Caesar—creamy and bold is the way to go for maximum flavor.
- Grated Parmesan cheese (1/4 cup): Freshly grated adds a nutty, salty depth that’s absolutely essential here.
- Chopped romaine lettuce (2 cups): This lettuce stands up to dressing while bringing that signature Caesar crunch and fresh color.
- Large flour tortillas or wraps (4): Soft and pliable tortillas make wrapping simple and help hold everything snugly inside.
- Cherry tomatoes, halved (1/2 cup, optional): These are a juicy bonus for a pop of sweetness and lovely color, though the classic is just as good without them.
- Freshly ground black pepper (to taste): Adds the perfect final kick of flavor—feel free to be generous.
How to Make Chicken Caesar Wrap Recipe
Step 1: Coat the Chicken
Start by reaching for a large mixing bowl. Add your cooked chicken, Caesar dressing, and grated Parmesan cheese. Toss everything together until every piece of chicken is thoroughly coated in the creamy, cheesy dressing. This step is the foundation for maximum flavor and ensures each bite is irresistibly tasty.
Step 2: Add the Greens and Tomatoes
Next, gently toss the chopped romaine lettuce into the bowl with your dressed chicken. If you’re feeling a little fancy or want an extra burst of color, now’s the time to add those halved cherry tomatoes. Fold everything together with care—the goal is to distribute the veggies without bruising that crisp romaine.
Step 3: Warm the Tortillas
To make rolling a breeze, pop your flour tortillas onto a plate and microwave them for about 15-20 seconds. Warm tortillas are more flexible and far less prone to tearing, making them perfect for wrapping up your delicious filling.
Step 4: Fill and Roll
Lay a tortilla flat and pile a generous scoop of the chicken Caesar mixture into the center. Sprinkle with freshly cracked black pepper if you’d like a little extra zing. To wrap, fold in the sides, then roll from the bottom up just like you would a burrito. Slice in half (on the diagonal for that classic deli look) and admire your handiwork!
Step 5: Serve or Store
You can serve your Chicken Caesar Wrap Recipe right away for ultimate freshness and crunch, but it also keeps well if wrapped up tightly and stashed in the fridge. If you’re prepping ahead, they’ll hold up nicely until lunch time tomorrow.
How to Serve Chicken Caesar Wrap Recipe

Garnishes
Give your wraps a finishing touch by sprinkling extra Parmesan or a dusting of fresh herbs like parsley right before serving. If you want to take things up a notch, add a few crunchy croutons inside the wrap or alongside for a playful twist on the classic Caesar salad experience.
Side Dishes
This Chicken Caesar Wrap Recipe pairs beautifully with so many sides! Try serving it with a fresh fruit salad, crunchy veggie sticks, or even a small cup of soup. For something heartier, some homemade oven-baked fries or a quinoa salad will round out the meal and satisfy any appetite.
Creative Ways to Present
Think outside the lunchbox! Slice the wraps into pinwheels for a crowd-pleasing appetizer tray at your next gathering. Or, pack individual wraps in parchment for hassle-free picnic fare. For a lunchbox hero move, wrap each in foil and tuck in a handwritten note for a special surprise.
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
If you find yourself with extra wraps, simply wrap each tightly in plastic or foil and keep them chilled in the refrigerator. For the best texture, enjoy within one day—after that, the lettuce may start to soften a bit, though the flavor remains delicious.
Freezing
While you can freeze the chicken Caesar mixture by itself, I recommend holding off on assembling the wraps until you’re ready to eat. The lettuce’s crispness doesn’t survive a stint in the freezer, so store the filling in an airtight container for up to two months, then thaw and wrap with fresh romaine later on.
Reheating
This Chicken Caesar Wrap Recipe is really meant for enjoying cold or at room temperature, keeping everything bright and fresh. If you’d like a warm twist, heat just the chicken filling briefly before assembling the wraps, or use a panini press to toast the finished wrap slightly for a melty, comforting variation.
FAQs
