Easy Chicken Caesar Wraps
Let’s talk about a real game-changer in the kitchen: my Chicken Caesar Wraps. Picture this: perfectly cooked, juicy chicken paired with crisp romaine lettuce and ripe tomatoes, all tied together with a creamy Caesar dressing in a soft, warm tortilla. It’s not just a meal, it’s an experience – easy to make, bursting with flavor, and sure to be a hit at your table. Trust me, once you try these, your lunch routine will never be the same!
- Flour Tortillas: You’ll need some large flour tortillas. Did you know you can make your own? Check out my flour tortilla recipe here.
- Chicken Breasts: You’ll need boneless skinless chicken breasts but chicken thighs will also work.
- Salt and Pepper: To season the chicken, adjust to taste.
- Olive Oil: I like using a good olive oil, but any vegetable oil will work as well.
- Romaine Lettuce: Adds a fresh, crunchy element to the wraps. You can also use iceberg lettuce or even spinach.
- Tomatoes: They bring in a juicy, fresh flavor. If you’re not a fan of tomatoes, you can use cucumbers or even bell peppers.
- Caesar Dressing: Store-bought or homemade.
- Parmesan Cheese: Freshly grated. You can replace it with Asiago or even Pecorino Romano.
- Croutons: They’re all about adding that extra crunch. You can substitute these with toasted nuts or seeds for a different texture.
- Lemon Wedges: Served on the side, they add a fresh zing to each bite.
Whipping up these Chicken Caesar Wraps is a breeze, and oh-so-rewarding!
Start by seasoning your chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Then, you cook them in a pan with olive oil until they’re beautifully golden and thoroughly cooked. After letting them cool for a bit, you slice them into bite-size pieces.
Next, you warm the flour tortillas to make them nice and pliable for rolling. Spread Caesar dressing over each tortilla, then layer with the cooked chicken, fresh chopped tomatoes, and crisp romaine lettuce. A sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and some crushed croutons go on top for that extra flavor and crunch.
Finally, you roll up the tortillas tightly, slice them diagonally, and they’re ready to serve, ideally with a wedge of lemon on the side to add a fresh zing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make Chicken Caesar Wraps ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can cook the chicken and chop your veggies ahead of time. Just assemble the wraps when you’re ready to eat to keep the tortillas from getting soggy.
Can I use store-bought rotisserie chicken instead of cooking chicken breasts?
Sure thing! Using rotisserie chicken is a great time-saver and adds a lovely flavor. Just shred it and use it in place of the cooked chicken breasts.
Is there a low-carb option for these wraps?
For a low-carb version, you can use lettuce leaves like romaine or butter lettuce instead of tortillas. It’s a fresh, crunchy alternative that still packs all the flavors.
Expert Tips
- Toast the Tortillas: Lightly toast the tortillas in a dry pan before assembling. This adds a nice warmth and slight crispness.
- Marinate the Chicken: For extra flavor, marinate the chicken breasts in a mix of olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic before cooking.
- Homemade Caesar Dressing: If you have time, whip up your own Caesar dressing. Freshly made dressing adds a richer, more authentic flavor.
- Add Fresh Herbs: Sprinkle chopped fresh herbs like parsley or basil over the wraps for a burst of freshness and color.
- Balance the Crunch: Ensure your croutons are lightly crushed – too big and they overpower, too small and they lose their satisfying crunch.
Storage
If you have leftovers, wrap them tightly in cling film or store in an airtight container. They’ll stay fresh in the fridge for a day or two. Just remember, the sooner you eat them, the better they’ll taste!

Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Let it cool slightly, then slice into small pieces.
- Warm the tortillas in a skillet or microwave briefly to make them pliable.
- Spread a layer of Caesar dressing over each tortilla. Sprinkle the chopped tomatoes evenly over the chicken. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese and add the crushed croutons for crunch.
- Carefully roll each tortilla, tucking in the sides to form a wrap. Slice the wraps in half diagonally and serve with lemon wedges and extra Caesar dressing on the side.
Notes
- Chicken Prep: Cook chicken until it’s golden on the outside and no longer pink inside. Let it rest before slicing for juicier meat.
- Tortilla Tip: Warm tortillas slightly to make them easier to roll without tearing.
- Dressing Choice: Use your favorite Caesar dressing, or try a homemade version for extra flavor.
- Veggie Variation: Feel free to add other veggies like sliced cucumbers or bell peppers for extra crunch.
- Storage: Best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the fridge, wrapped tightly, for up to 2 days.
