Chicken Caesar Wrap Recipe Ingredients

• 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch burrito size)
• 1/2 cup Caesar dressing (creamy style is best), plus extra for dipping
• 4 cups romaine lettuce, shredded or chopped
• 16 oz cooked chicken breast, shredded or sliced (approx. 2 cups)
• 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

How To Make Chicken Caesar Wrap Recipe

1. Lay it all out: Place the four tortillas flat on a clean counter or cutting board. (Tip: Warm them in the microwave for 10 seconds first to make them pliable!)
2. Spread the base: Spoon about 2 tablespoons of Caesar dressing down the center of each tortilla, leaving about an inch of space at the top and bottom.
3. Layer the lettuce: Divide the shredded romaine lettuce evenly among the tortillas, placing it directly on top of the dressing.
4. Add protein and cheese: Top the lettuce with the shredded chicken (4 oz per wrap) and a generous sprinkling of Parmesan cheese (1/4 cup per wrap). Keep the filling centered in a line rather than spreading it to the edges.
5. Wrap it up: Fold the sides of the tortilla in towards the center. Then, starting from the bottom, roll the tortilla up tightly over the filling, tucking it in as you go, just like a burrito.
6. Secure and serve: Slice the wrap in half diagonally. Serve immediately with extra Caesar dressing on the side for dipping. If making for later, wrap tightly in foil or wax paper.

Recipe Tips!

• Tortilla Temp: Cold tortillas crack! Zap them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds before rolling. The heat makes the gluten stretchy so you can wrap it tight without it tearing.
• Lettuce Dryness: Use a salad spinner! Wet lettuce will make your dressing watery and your tortilla soggy within minutes. Bone-dry lettuce keeps the wrap crisp for hours.
• Chicken Choice: Rotisserie chicken is king here for moisture and flavor. If cooking your own, make sure to season it well with salt, pepper, and maybe a little garlic powder so the chicken isn’t bland inside the wrap.
• Crouton Crunch: Want the full Caesar experience? Crush a handful of garlic croutons and sprinkle them inside the wrap before rolling. It adds a phenomenal texture!

What To Serve With Chicken Caesar Wrap Recipe?

This Chicken Caesar Wrap Recipe is a complete handheld meal, but it loves a crunchy side! A bag of Salt and Vinegar Chips or some crisp Apple Slices provides a great texture contrast. For a hot option, a cup of Tomato Soup serves as a wonderful dip for the wrap edges! If you are packing this for a picnic, a simple Pasta Salad or some grapes make for an easy, portable feast.

How To Store Chicken Caesar Wrap Recipe

• Refrigerate: Wrap tightly in plastic wrap or foil. They can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours. After that, the dressing tends to make the tortilla soggy.
• Meal Prep: If prepping for the week, keep the lettuce/chicken/cheese mixture in one container and the tortillas separate. Assemble them fresh each morning to keep them crisp!
• Freeze: Do not freeze these! Lettuce does not survive the freezer, and the dressing will separate.
