Grilled Chicken Caesar Wrap Recipe

If you’re looking for a quick, flavorful lunch, this Chicken Caesar Wrap is a perfect choice.

Cool deli-sliced chicken breast, crisp romaine lettuce, shaved parmesan and creamy Caesar dressing wrapped in a large flour tortilla make a satisfying, portable meal. Use my homemade Caesar dressing for bright, authentic flavor, or a good store-bought version if you’re short on time.

If I’m honest, lunch can be a tough moment of the day—I’m often reheating last night’s dinner or grabbing whatever my kids are eating. But when there are large tortillas in the pantry, a hearty wrap quickly becomes my go-to. These wraps travel well in a lunch box for picnics, quick errands, or a simple workday meal.

Chicken Caesar Wrap

For this easy recipe I typically use deli-sliced chicken breast because it’s convenient and ready to eat. You can also substitute shredded rotisserie chicken or leftover grilled chicken when you want to use what’s on hand. The result is a crisp, creamy wrap that’s surprisingly filling despite minimal effort.

Ingredients Needed:

Here’s what you’ll need to make four Chicken Caesar Wraps. Quantities are kept simple and flexible so you can scale or adapt as needed.

• 4 large flour tortillas
• 8 oz deli-sliced chicken breast (or equal amount shredded or grilled chicken)
• 3 cups romaine lettuce, chopped or torn
• 1/3 cup shaved parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup Caesar dressing (homemade or store-bought)
• 1/4 cup purple onion, thinly sliced

How To Make Wraps

The key to a neat wrap is not overfilling. Too much filling makes rolling difficult and the tortilla prone to splitting. Follow these simple steps for tidy, tasty wraps:

1. Lay each large flour tortilla flat on a clean surface or cutting board at room temperature.
2. Divide the deli-sliced chicken evenly among the tortillas.
3. Add the romaine lettuce and shaved parmesan.
4. Drizzle or spread about 2 tablespoons of Caesar dressing per wrap (adjust to taste) and top with thinly sliced purple onion.
5. Fold the sides in slightly, then roll tightly from one edge to enclose the filling.
6. Slice each wrap in half on the diagonal to display the filling and make it easier to eat.

Pro tip: Tuck the ends of the tortilla in as you roll to help contain the filling, similar to rolling a burrito. This prevents ingredients from spilling out while eating or transporting.

What To Serve With Chicken Caesar Wrap

These wraps stand well on their own but are even better with a few simple sides. My favorite pairings include:

• Crunchy chips or pretzels
• Sliced vegetables with ranch or hummus
• Creamy macaroni salad
• Cucumber and tomato salad
• Fresh fruit salad for a sweet contrast
