Can I use store-bought Caesar dressing?

Absolutely! Store-bought Caesar dressing is a time-saver and works beautifully. If you want a lighter version, look for one made with Greek yogurt or whip up your own with plain yogurt and anchovies for extra flavor.

How can I prep Chicken Caesar Wraps ahead for lunches?

Keep the salad mixture and tortillas separate until you’re ready to eat. Store the tossed lettuce, chicken, and cheese in an airtight container, then assemble the wraps just before serving (add croutons at the last minute for max crunch).

Are there low-carb options for this recipe?

Definitely—swap the flour tortilla for a low-carb or whole wheat wrap, or even roll the filling in a big lettuce leaf for a grain-free alternative. Still just as satisfying!

What chicken is best for wraps: grilled, fried, or rotisserie?

There’s no wrong choice! Grilled chicken is classic and light, fried adds a little indulgence, and rotisserie is hands-down the most convenient. Use whatever you have (leftovers work perfectly!).

Instructions

Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, cooked chicken, Caesar dressing, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, and homemade croutons. Use tongs to toss everything together until well mixed. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Taste and add more Caesar dressing if you prefer a creamier wrap. Set the mixture aside.
Warm the Tortillas: Heat a large pan over medium heat. Warm each tortilla for about 15 to 30 seconds per side, just until they are soft and pliable. Place the warmed tortillas on a plate and cover with a kitchen towel to keep them warm. Alternatively, you can heat them in the microwave between paper towels for 15 to 30 seconds.
Assemble the Wraps: Lay each tortilla on a clean surface. Evenly distribute the Caesar salad mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then tightly roll it up burrito-style. If needed, secure each wrap with a toothpick to help keep it closed.
Serve: Either cut each wrap in half or serve them whole, depending on your preference. Enjoy your Chicken Caesar Wraps immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

The wraps are best enjoyed the day they are made for optimal freshness and crunch.
You can prep the individual components, like the salad and chicken, in advance and assemble right before serving.
