How to Make Chicken Caesar Wrap (3 Steps & Timing)
Step 1: Mix the Ingredients (5 minutes)
In a bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, sliced chicken, Caesar dressing, and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir everything together until the lettuce is nicely coated.
Step 2: Add Crunch (1 minute)
If desired, toss in croutons for added crunch. This step is optional, but it gives the wrap an extra layer of texture.
Step 3: Wrap It Up (2 minutes)
Lay the tortilla flat and spoon the mixture onto the center. Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up from the bottom to the top to create the wrap. If you’d like, cut it in half for easier eating. Enjoy your Chicken Caesar Wrap!
(Note: This recipe works well with cooked chicken from an air fryer, making dinner even easier.)
Ingredients You Will Need
- 1 large flour tortilla
- 1 cup cooked chicken, sliced
- 2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1/4 cup Caesar dressing
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Croutons (optional)
Quick Sides & Serving Ideas
Pair your Chicken Caesar Wrap with these easy sides:
- Fresh Fruit: Sliced apples or berries make a great, healthy addition.
- Chips: A small serving of crispy tortilla or pita chips for a satisfying crunch.
- Veggie Sticks: Carrot and celery sticks with a light dip can balance the meal.
- Soup: A bowl of light vegetable or tomato soup could complement the wrap perfectly.
Storage & Reheat (No Soggy Leftovers)
To keep your Chicken Caesar Wrap fresh, store it in the fridge for up to 2 days. If you want to freeze it, consume within 1 month. When reheating, use an air fryer or oven. This will help crisp up the tortilla instead of making it soggy. Heat at 350°F (175°C) for about 5–7 minutes.
Got Leftovers? Make Them Work for You
Leftovers don’t have to be boring. Most of the time they’re a head start on tomorrow’s meal. Toss roasted veggies into eggs, turn last night’s chicken into wraps, or freeze soups for a lazy-night rescue. The trick is storing them right and keeping it simple. That way, instead of another chore, leftovers feel like a shortcut. See more easy ideas here and make the most of what you’ve got.
10-Minute Prep & Time-Saving Shortcuts
Make your dinner even quicker with these shortcuts:
- Pre-Chopped Veggies: Buy mixed greens or pre-chopped romaine.
- Rotisserie Chicken: Use a store-bought rotisserie chicken to save time.
- Bagged Caesar Salad Mix: Grab a prepared Caesar salad kit to eliminate prep time.
- Ready-Made Tortillas: Choose tortillas that are already prepped and ready to use.

FAQs
Can I swap the protein?
For sure. Turkey, shrimp, or even grilled salmon taste amazing in a Caesar wrap. If you’re vegetarian, chickpeas or roasted veggies work great too. The creamy dressing ties it all together no matter what you use.
How do I keep the wrap from getting soggy?
Use just enough dressing to coat, not drown, the lettuce. If packing ahead, keep the dressing separate and drizzle it right before eating. That way, the tortilla stays firm and fresh.
Can I store these for later?
Yes. Wrap them tightly in foil or plastic wrap and store in the fridge for up to 2 days. To keep them crisp longer, hold off on adding croutons until just before serving.
What’s the best way to reheat it?
If you prefer it warm, pop the wrap in an oven or air fryer at 350°F for about 5 minutes. It’ll crisp the tortilla while gently reheating the filling. Or enjoy it cold straight from the fridge it works both ways.
