A quick, healthy, and protein-packed chicken Caesar wrap perfect for busy lunches. This wrap combines tender chicken, crisp Romaine, tangy Caesar dressing, and Parmesan cheese wrapped in a soft tortilla.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cooked chicken breast, shredded or sliced
  • 1 large flour tortilla (10-inch)
  • 2 cups chopped Romaine lettuce
  • 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/3 cup Caesar dressing
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Black pepper, freshly ground, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Optional: 1/4 cup crushed croutons

Instructions

  1. If using raw chicken breast, season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook in a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat for 6-8 minutes per side until cooked through (internal temperature 165°F). Let rest 5 minutes, then slice or shred. Skip if using cooked chicken.
  2. Rinse and dry Romaine lettuce thoroughly, then chop into medium pieces (about 2 cups).
  3. In a large bowl, combine cooked chicken, chopped lettuce, grated Parmesan, and Caesar dressing. Toss gently to coat evenly. Add lemon juice and adjust seasoning with black pepper. Fold in crushed croutons if using.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Brush each tortilla lightly with olive oil and warm for about 30 seconds per side until pliable and slightly toasted.
  5. Lay a warm tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon about 3/4 cup of the chicken Caesar mixture down the center. Fold sides in and roll tightly from the bottom to form a secure wrap.
  6. Serve immediately sliced diagonally or wrap tightly in parchment or foil for later.

Notes

To avoid soggy wraps, keep lettuce and dressing separate until just before eating or toss lightly with dressing. Warm tortillas to prevent tearing and improve texture. Thin Caesar dressing with water or olive oil if too thick. Use room temperature chicken for better flavor.
