directions

In a large bowl, toss together lettuce, chicken, dressing, Parmesan, and croutons. Season with salt and pepper and taste—adjust dressing if desired.
Warm tortillas in a skillet (15–30 seconds per side) or microwave between damp paper towels to prevent tearing.
Lay tortillas flat, divide the Caesar mixture among them in the center.
Fold in opposite sides, then roll up like a burrito. Secure with a toothpick if necessary.
Cut in half if desired and serve immediately.

Servings and timing

Serves: 4 wraps
Prep time: about 15 minutes
Total time: about 15 minutes

Variations

Add halved grape or cherry tomatoes for a juicy twist
Top with avocado slices for creaminess
Use spinach or whole wheat tortillas for variety
Mix in roasted red peppers or artichokes for extra flavor

storage/reheating

I recommend prepping the components separately and assembling right before serving to keep tortillas crisp.

Make-ahead storage: Keep chicken, lettuce, croutons, and dressing refrigerated separately for up to 3–4 days.
Wrap storage: Assembled wraps are best enjoyed within a few hours or up to one day when chilled, as the tortilla may soften over time.
Reheating: Warm the chicken before assembling. If reheating a full wrap, gently heat it in a skillet until warmed through—avoid microwaving to preserve texture.

FAQs

Can I make these ahead for lunches?

Yes—I prep and store chicken, lettuce, croutons, and dressing separately in the fridge. I toss them together and wrap just before eating.

How can I prevent the tortilla from getting soggy?

I go light on the dressing inside and keep extra on the side for dipping. Also, warming the tortilla before filling helps maintain its structure.

Can I use store-bought components?

Absolutely—I often use rotisserie chicken and bottled Caesar dressing. It saves time and tastes great.

Is this good for meal prep?

Definitely. Chicken holds up well in the fridge for several days. Lettuce and croutons are best kept dry and added just before eating.

Can I freeze these wraps?

I don’t recommend freezing assembled wraps since the tortillas get soggy. But you can freeze cooked chicken or dressing separately for future use.

Conclusion

These Chicken Caesar Wraps are crunchy, creamy, savory, and easy to customize. I love how portable they are, making them great for busy days or on-the-go meals. I often make them ahead, and they never disappoint. I’d love to hear how you make yours!
