Ingredients

3 cups chopped romaine lettuce
1 1/2 cups chopped cooked chicken, grilled, fried, or rotisserie
1/3 cup Caesar dressing
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup homemade croutons
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
4 flour tortillas or wraps, 10-inch

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preparing the Ingredients

Wash and dry the romaine thoroughly, then chop it into bite-sized pieces for even mixing. Chop the cooked chicken into small, uniform pieces so it distributes well throughout the wrap. Measure the dressing, cheese, and croutons ahead of time to keep the process quick and smooth.

Cooking Instructions

Combine the lettuce, chicken, dressing, Parmesan, and croutons in a large bowl, then toss until evenly coated. Warm the tortillas briefly in a skillet or microwave until pliable, then divide the mixture among them. Fold in the sides and roll tightly, burrito-style, before serving whole or sliced in half.

Tips for Perfect Results

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Overfilling the tortillas can cause tearing and messy wraps, so keep portions balanced. Using wet lettuce will water down the dressing, which affects flavor and texture. Skipping the warming step makes tortillas stiff and harder to roll.

Pro Tips for Better Flavor

Grilled chicken adds a light smoky note that pairs well with Caesar dressing. Freshly grated Parmesan melts slightly into the mixture and tastes richer than pre-shredded cheese. Adding croutons just before rolling keeps them crisp.

Serving and Storage

How to Serve

Serve the wraps immediately while the tortillas stay warm and flexible. They pair well with fresh fruit, kettle chips, or a simple soup for a complete meal. Cutting them in half makes them easier to share.

How to Store Leftovers

These wraps taste best the day they are made, but you can prep the ingredients in advance and store them separately. Keep the salad mixture chilled and assemble just before eating to maintain texture. Avoid storing fully assembled wraps overnight.

Conclusion

This Chicken Caesar Wrap proves that simple ingredients can create a dependable, satisfying meal. With minimal prep and familiar flavors, it fits busy schedules without sacrificing taste. Once you try it, this wrap easily becomes a repeat recipe.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use store-bought rotisserie chicken?

Yes, rotisserie chicken works very well and saves time. Chop it finely so it blends evenly with the lettuce and dressing.

What tortillas work best for wraps?

Large flour tortillas remain flexible and hold fillings well. Whole wheat tortillas also work if you prefer a heartier option.

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

You can prepare all components ahead, but assemble the wraps just before serving. This keeps the lettuce crisp and prevents sogginess.
