Best Chicken Caesar Wrap

I love anything that lets me put dinner together quickly while still feeling like I put effort into it so Chicken Caesar Wraps are one of my weeknight heroes. One afternoon after getting home late from a long day and realizing I had leftover grilled chicken in the fridge and a half-used bag of romaine I threw everything into a wrap with Caesar dressing and called it dinner and my family was instantly obsessed and since then it’s become a go-to.

Ever since that night I’ve been playing with the details by adjusting the seasoning and swapping in homemade Caesar or adding crunchy extras and every time it turns out delicious and satisfying. Chicken Caesar wraps feel fresh and filling and they’ve become my favorite recipe when I want something hearty without spending hours in the kitchen.

Ingredients

• Here’s what I use for this recipe. You can always make substitutions if you prefer!
• Grilled chicken breast – Provides the savory protein base and pairs beautifully with Caesar flavors
• Romaine lettuce – Adds crisp freshness and crunch to every bite
• Caesar dressing – Creamy and tangy it brings everything together
• Flour tortillas – The perfect vehicle for wrapping all the goodness in a handheld meal
• Parmesan cheese – Adds salty umami and deepens the Caesar flavor
• Black pepper – A simple touch that enhances all the other ingredients

Tools You’ll Need

• Grill pan or skillet – For cooking or reheating the chicken with a nice char
• Knife – To slice the chicken evenly for easy wrapping
• Cutting board – For prepping the lettuce and chicken
• Mixing bowl – To toss lettuce and dressing if you want everything evenly coated
• Tongs – Helpful for turning chicken and mixing the salad
• Large spoon – For drizzling the Caesar dressing

Instructions

Step 1:

I start by heating up my grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and warming the grilled chicken slices just until they’re heated through and have a nice color on the outside.

Step 2:

While the chicken is warming I wash and dry the romaine lettuce and chop or tear it into bite-sized pieces then I set it aside.

Step 3:

Next I lay out my flour tortillas and if I want them extra pliable I microwave them for about 10 seconds which makes them easier to fold.

Step 4:

I spread a spoonful of Caesar dressing in the center of each tortilla and then I layer on the lettuce chicken slices and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.

Step 5:

I like to crack some fresh black pepper on top before folding the tortilla sides in then rolling them tightly from the bottom to form wraps.

Step 6:

Sometimes I return the wraps to the skillet for about a minute per side to give them a golden crisp outside but they’re delicious as-is too!

Tips

If you want to make it extra special I love adding thin slices of avocado or crispy bacon for a richer twist. I also occasionally use spinach wraps for added color or a little whole grain for a healthier touch. And when I make these ahead I wrap them tightly in foil and pop them in the fridge so they’re ready for a grab-and-go lunch!

Ways to Serve
