Imagine taking a bite and—boom!—you’re hit with the tangy goodness of creamy dressing. It’s like a little party for your taste buds. Then comes the juicy, bite-sized pieces of chicken that’s cooked to perfection. You’re thinking, “Okay, I’m listening…” But wait, there’s a crunch! That’s the crisp Romaine lettuce and maybe some croutons, giving you that satisfying texture contrast. And let’s not forget the soft, slightly chewy tortilla that holds this taste symphony together. It’s like if a Caesar salad and a burrito had a delicious baby; it’s comfort and class all wrapped up in one! 

Caesar Salad Wrap Ingredients

Make sure you have the ingredients for these chicken caesar salad wraps on hand always because it’s a simple way to load up your belly with deliciousness. Let’s breakdown what you need and some substitutions. 

• Chicken: You can use your favorite cooked chicken breasts, leftover chicken, rotisserie chicken, or your favorite frozen chicken option. We like Just Bare chicken that’s cooked in our air fryer. 
• Lettuce: I like the crunch of romaine lettuce, but you can really use any variety. To save even more time you can grab a bag of chopped crunchy lettuce. 
• Parmesan Cheese: This cheese offers a nutty, sharp kick that balances the tanginess of the Caesar dressing. 
• Croutons: My favorite secret ingredient. I lightly crush croutons and sprinkle them into the filling before rolling my wrap. It adds texture and some delicious flavor. For this one, you can use store-bought or homemade croutons. Both are equally delicious.
• Dressing: creamy, tangy, with a hit of garlic and a whisper of anchovy. Yes, anchovy! Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it; it gives the dressing that irreplaceable umami oomph. You can use a homemade dressing, which is a game-changer, but if you’re in a pinch, there are some pretty solid store-bought options that won’t disgrace your greens. Just look for one where you can actually pronounce the ingredients
• Tortillas: Large flour tortillas are key to packing in all of the salad goodness. Be sure to stick with a soft flour tortilla vs corn. They fold nicer and hold up with the hearty filling.
• Optional: Top your salad with a squeeze of lemon juice, sprinkle of garlic powder and black pepper, or load up the veggies with some cherry tomatoes. 

Delicious Chicken Caesar Wrap Recipe

1. PREP: Cook the chicken strips according to the package directions, or chop precooked chicken if you are using leftovers or rotisserie. 
2. CHOP: Allow the chicken to cool for a few minutes and then chop into small pieces.
3. ​TOSS: Add the chopped chicken, lettuce, cheese, crouton crumbles, and dressing into a large bowl. Add tomatoes or other vegetables if using. Toss gently to combine until the dressing is coating most of the filling. 
4. ROLL: Spread 1/4 of the mixture onto the center of a large tortilla. Leave about 2 inches empty around the edge for folding freedom. Fold in the sides of the tortilla toward the center but not all the way over the ingredients. Now, take the edge closest to you and fold it over the tucked-in sides and ingredients, squeezing everything together like you’re giving it a lil’ hug. Hold everything in place while you roll the wrap away from you, towards the remaining open edge. Apply gentle pressure to make sure it’s snug but not smothered.
5. ENJOY: Enjoy your wrap!
