Ingredients

Here’s everything you’ll need to create this delicious Chicken Caesar Wrap:

4 large flour tortillas – Soft and flexible tortillas work best to easily roll the wrap.

2 cups romaine lettuce, shredded – Crisp romaine is ideal; avoid frozen or wilted lettuce for the best crunch.
½ cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated – Freshly grated cheese melts beautifully and adds authentic flavor.
¼ cup Caesar dressing – Use homemade or store-bought for a creamy, tangy touch.
Optional: extra Caesar dressing for serving – It’s great for dipping or drizzling for more flavor.

Note: Serves 4 generously.

Equipment You Need

Cutting board – For shredding the lettuce and slicing chicken.

Plastic wrap or wax paper – To tightly wrap the wraps for storage or serving.

How to Make Chicken Caesar Wraps

Prepare the Ingredients

First, shred your cooked chicken and romaine lettuce. I like to have everything ready before assembling so the process is smooth and fast.

Assemble the Wrap

Lay each tortilla flat and spread 2 tablespoons of Caesar dressing. Add a layer of shredded lettuce, then top with 4 ounces of chicken and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.

Roll and Chill

Carefully roll each tortilla, tucking the sides in. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap or wax paper and refrigerate until serving. I always slice them in half for a neat presentation.

Additional Tips for Making this Recipe Better

I always use freshly grated Parmesan—it adds a sharper flavor that pre-grated cheese can’t match.
For extra crispness, I keep the lettuce chilled until assembly.
I prefer adding a little dressing on the side, so the wrap never gets soggy.
If I’m using leftover chicken, I warm it slightly for a comforting touch, but cold chicken works well too.

How to Serve Chicken Caesar Wraps

I like to serve these wraps sliced in half, showing the colorful layers inside. Pair them with chips, a side salad, or even fresh fruit. For a polished touch, drizzle a little extra Caesar dressing over the top and sprinkle more Parmesan.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing

Wrap the assembled wraps tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate. They stay fresh up to 24 hours, making them perfect for lunches.

Freezing

I don’t recommend freezing due to the lettuce, which loses crunch. Instead, freeze just the cooked chicken if needed.

Reheating

If using warm chicken, you can heat it gently before wrapping. I usually serve cold for a refreshing, crisp bite.
