• 1 large head romaine lettuce, washed and chopped
• 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (optional, for color and freshness)
• 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch, or spinach/herb wraps for variety)
• 1/2 cup Caesar dressing (homemade or good-quality store-bought)
• 1/2 cup seasoned croutons, crushed for easy rolling
• Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Optional Add-Ins:

• 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup cooked bacon, crumbled

How To Make Chicken Caesar Salad Wraps

This lunch is as easy as prepping the filling, tossing the salad, and rolling everything up in a soft tortilla. For the freshest result, assemble wraps just before eating, but you can prep the chicken Caesar mixture up to a day ahead. Each bite delivers crisp lettuce, savory chicken, cheesy notes, and creamy dressing.

Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken:
If using freshly cooked chicken, season with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon, then grill or bake until cooked through. Cool slightly and chop or shred. Rotisserie chicken works perfectly for quick prep.

2. Toss the Salad Filling:
In a large bowl, combine the chopped romaine, chicken, Parmesan, cherry tomatoes (if using), and croutons. Drizzle with Caesar dressing and toss until all ingredients are lightly coated but not soggy. Add more dressing if desired.

3. Warm the Tortillas:
Wrap tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20–30 seconds, or warm briefly in a skillet. This makes them pliable and prevents tearing during rolling.

4. Assemble the Wraps:
Lay a tortilla flat on your work surface. Spoon a generous portion of chicken Caesar mixture down the center, leaving about 1 inch at each end. Sprinkle with extra Parmesan and black pepper if desired.

5. Roll It Up:
Fold in the sides, then roll up tightly from the bottom, tucking as you go to form a burrito-style wrap. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.

6. Serve or Store:
Slice wraps in half on the bias and serve immediately, or wrap tightly in parchment or foil for lunchboxes. The wraps keep well for several hours, making them perfect for on-the-go lunches.

Lunch Serving Suggestions

These Chicken Caesar Salad Wraps are delicious on their own, but for a more complete lunch, serve with a side of fruit salad, baked sweet potato chips, or crunchy veggie sticks. For meal prep, wrap each roll-up tightly and refrigerate; they’ll stay fresh and flavorful until lunchtime. If making ahead, keep the filling and tortillas separate until just before eating to prevent sogginess.
