Chicken Caesar Salad Wrap is one of my favorite quick, no-fuss meals when I want something fresh, flavorful, and easy to eat on the go. It wraps everything I love about a classic Caesar salad — crisp romaine, juicy chicken, creamy dressing, and Parmesan — inside a soft tortilla. It’s perfect for lunch, a light dinner, or a satisfying meal-prep option that never feels boring.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I love this recipe because it’s simple, requires minimal ingredients, and delivers big flavor. The Caesar dressing adds creaminess and tang, the grilled chicken keeps it hearty, and the crunch from romaine and croutons (yes, I sometimes sneak them in!) gives each bite great texture. Plus, it’s easy to customize and comes together in under 20 minutes.
Ingredients
(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
- Cooked chicken breast, grilled or shredded
- Romaine lettuce, chopped
- Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)
- Shredded or shaved Parmesan cheese
- Croutons (optional, for crunch)
- Large flour tortillas or wraps
- Salt and black pepper
- Fresh lemon juice (optional)
Directions
- Prepare the filling:
I chop the romaine and toss it in a bowl with Caesar dressing until well coated. I add sliced or shredded chicken, Parmesan, and crushed croutons if using. I season with a little salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice if I want extra brightness. - Assemble the wrap:
I place a generous scoop of the salad mixture in the center of a tortilla. I fold in the sides, roll it up tightly, and slice it in half. - Serve:
I enjoy it right away, or wrap it in foil for lunch on the go. It’s also great slightly chilled.
Servings and timing
This recipe makes 2–3 wraps and takes about 15–20 minutes to prepare.
Variations
Sometimes I add crispy bacon, avocado slices, or cherry tomatoes for extra flavor and texture. I’ve also made a spicy version by mixing a bit of hot sauce into the Caesar dressing. For a low-carb option, I use a low-carb tortilla or skip the wrap entirely and enjoy it as a salad bowl.
Storage/Reheating
These wraps are best enjoyed fresh, but I store them in the fridge (wrapped tightly) for up to 1 day. If I’m packing them ahead, I avoid adding croutons until just before eating to keep them crunchy. I don’t recommend reheating — it’s meant to be eaten cold or at room temperature.
FAQs
Can I use rotisserie chicken?
Yes — rotisserie chicken is a great shortcut. I shred or chop it and it works perfectly in the wrap.
What kind of Caesar dressing is best?
I use either a high-quality store-bought Caesar or homemade if I have the time. Creamy, tangy, and garlicky dressings work best here.
Can I make it vegetarian?
Yes — I skip the chicken and use chickpeas, crispy tofu, or even hard-boiled eggs for a protein boost.
Will the wrap get soggy?
If I eat it within a few hours, it holds up well. I avoid overloading with dressing and keep the lettuce dry after washing to help prevent sogginess.
Can I make this gluten-free?
Definitely — I use gluten-free tortillas and gluten-free croutons or skip the croutons altogether.

With crisp lettuce, savory chicken, creamy dressing, and sharp Parmesan all rolled into one, it’s a wrap I keep in my rotation for busy days and quick lunches.
