Quick Facts

• Yield: Serves 4
• Prep Time: 15 minutes
• Cook Time: 10 minutes
• Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

For the Main Dish:

• 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 12 ounces)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch size works well)
• 4 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
• ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (optional for freshness)

For the Sauce / Garnish:

• ½ cup Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 tsp lemon juice (optional, for extra zing)
• Fresh cracked black pepper, to taste

How I Make It

Step 1:

Start by patting your chicken breasts dry and seasoning both sides generously with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Place the chicken in the pan and cook for about 5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature hits 165°F. After cooking, let the chicken rest for 5 minutes to keep it juicy before slicing into thin strips.

Step 2:

While the chicken rests, toss together your chopped romaine lettuce with about ½ cup Caesar dressing in a large bowl. Add the optional lemon juice here – it adds a nice bright touch that lifts the classic dressing.

Step 3:

Warm your tortillas slightly in a dry skillet or microwave. This makes them flexible and easier to roll without tearing.

Step 4:

Lay out the warm tortillas and divide the dressed lettuce evenly among them. Add a few slices of those juicy chicken strips on top, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, and then add your halved cherry tomatoes if you’re using them.

Step 5:

Drizzle a little extra Caesar dressing over everything and finish with a crack of fresh black pepper to brighten up the flavors.

Step 6:

Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll tightly from one end to the other to form a neat wrap. Slice in half if you like, and serve immediately for the best texture and freshness!

Variations & Tips

• Swap the chicken for grilled shrimp or crispy tofu for a fun twist.
• Add crispy bacon bits inside for extra crunch and smoky flavor.
• Use whole wheat or spinach tortillas to pack in more nutrients.
• If you like spice, a dash of hot sauce or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes works wonders.
• For a lighter dressing, mix Greek yogurt with a bit of lemon juice and garlic powder as a homemade alternative.
• Don’t toss the chicken juices! Add a splash to the salad for deeper flavor.

How I Like to Serve It

I love serving these wraps with a crisp cucumber salad in the summertime or alongside some roasted sweet potato fries when it’s cooler out. They’re perfect for a casual weeknight meal or a quick picnic lunch. Pair them with iced tea or a sparkling lemonade to keep things light and refreshing.

Notes

• Store any leftovers wrapped in foil or plastic wrap in the fridge for up to 2 days — best enjoyed cold or gently reheated.
• If reheating, warm in a skillet to keep the tortilla crispy rather than soggy from the dressing.

Closing: These Chicken Caesar Wraps always come together beautifully, balancing crisp textures and savory flavors, making dinner feel effortless and absolutely delicious every single time.
