Spread the Caesar dressing evenly over the surface of the flour tortilla.
Step 3: Add the Fillings
Top the dressing with shredded romaine lettuce, sliced chicken strips, and grated Parmesan cheese.

Tips for the Best Chicken Caesar Wrap:
- Cook the Chicken in Advance: To save time, you can grill or cook the chicken ahead of time and store it in the fridge for later use.
- Make It Even More Flavorful: Add a sprinkle of black pepper or some crispy bacon bits for an extra layer of flavor.
- Lighter Option: Use a whole-wheat tortilla or a low-fat Caesar dressing to make the wrap lighter.
Variations:
- Add Veggies: For extra crunch and nutrition, add thinly sliced cucumbers, tomatoes, or red onions.
- Wrap It Up in a Different Way: You can also serve the chicken Caesar as a salad, with the chicken and dressing served on top of a bed of fresh greens.
- Grilled Chicken: For a smoky flavor, try grilling the chicken instead of pan-frying it.
How to Serve:
This Chicken Caesar Wrap pairs perfectly with a side of crispy fries, sweet potato wedges, or a light salad. For a more filling meal, serve with a cup of soup like tomato basil or a side of coleslaw.
Storing Leftovers:
- Storing: If you have leftover wraps, you can store them in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or foil to keep them fresh.
- Reheating: If you’d like to warm the wrap, you can heat it up in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds, or grill it lightly for a crispy texture.
FAQs:
- Can I use a different type of dressing? Yes! You can use ranch dressing, blue cheese, or any dressing you prefer to change up the flavor.
- Can I add other protein? Absolutely! Grilled shrimp, turkey, or even a vegetarian protein like chickpeas would work wonderfully in this wrap.
- Can I make the wrap ahead of time? Yes! Just store the assembled wrap in the fridge, but don’t add the dressing until you’re ready to eat to prevent it from getting soggy.
- What side dishes pair well with this wrap? Pair this wrap with a side of crispy sweet potato fries, a fresh green salad, or a cup of your favorite soup.
