Okay, let me be honest—I’m seriously obsessed with these Chicken Caesar Wraps.

Plus, they come together so fast, you’ll wonder why you ever settled for soggy sandwich bread or sad desk lunches!

Quick Facts

Yield: Serves 4
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

For the Main Dish:

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 10 ounces total)
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
4 large flour tortillas (10-inch size works great)
3 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
½ cup crunchy croutons, chopped (optional but highly recommended!)

For the Sauce / Garnish:

½ cup Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade—see tips below)
1 tsp fresh lemon juice (optional, for a bright touch)
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

How I Make It

Step 1:

Start by heating the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper. Once the oil is shimmering, add the chicken and cook for about 5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.

Step 2:

While the chicken rests, grab your chopped romaine lettuce, shredded Parmesan cheese, and chopped croutons. Toss them together in a large bowl—this combo gives you that classic crisp and cheesy crunch in every bite.

Step 3:

Drizzle the Caesar dressing over the lettuce mixture. If you like a little zing, add a teaspoon of fresh lemon juice. Toss everything until coated evenly—don’t be shy with the dressing because it’s what brings all the flavors together!

Step 4:

Lay out your flour tortillas on a clean surface. Divide the dressed lettuce mixture evenly onto each tortilla, then top each with sliced chicken strips. Sprinkle a little more Parmesan or cracked black pepper if you want to make it extra special.

Step 5:

Carefully fold the sides of the tortillas in, then roll them up tightly from the bottom. If the tortilla feels a bit stiff or cracks, warm it for 10 seconds in the microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel—this softens it up perfectly.

Step 6:

If you want, slice your wrap diagonally to show off that beautiful filling. Serve immediately for that amazing crunch and creamy dressing combo—the perfect lunch or light dinner that feels like a little indulgence.

Variations & Tips

Swap flour tortillas for whole wheat or spinach wraps for added nutrition and color.
Add crispy bacon or prosciutto for a smoky, salty kick.
Use grilled or leftover rotisserie chicken to save time—just slice and wrap!
Try homemade Caesar dressing with anchovies for a traditional flavor boost.
For an extra veggie boost, add sliced avocado or diced tomatoes.
Toast the wrap in a panini press or skillet for a warm, melty treat.

How I Like to Serve It

This Chicken Caesar Wrap is my go-to for busy weekday lunches—paired with a crisp pickle spear and some sweet grapes on the side. They’re also fabulous for picnic days or casual weekend gatherings when you want something fresh but filling. If it’s warm out, these wraps feel light and refreshing without leaving you hungry!

Notes

Store any leftovers wrapped tightly in foil or plastic wrap in the fridge for up to 2 days.
If reheating, unwrap and warm in a skillet over medium heat to keep the tortilla crisp—avoid the microwave or the wrap can get soggy.

Closing: Honestly, this recipe nails that perfect balance of crunchy, creamy, and savory every time—making these Chicken Caesar Wraps a lunch you’ll want on repeat!
