“I loved your Chicken Caesar Wraps…so easy to make and very tasty.” – Angie
“This is a great wrap. I love it for lunch or even for a light dinner. So good!” – Krissy
“We loved these wraps! Delicious with Costco tortillas. In the future I am going to do the dressing on the side because we had so much leftover that the dressing made everything pretty soggy. I compensated by adding more spinach leaves each time we had them for leftovers.” – Haley
Why I Love This Wrap
There’s something so satisfying about a meal you can hold in your hands. This Chicken Caesar Wrap is one of those lunches I come back to again and again—especially in the summer when we’re packing lunches for the pool or park. My kids love anything wrapped in a tortilla, and I love that this feels more hearty and satisfying than just a salad.
Each wrap is packed with juicy chicken, crunchy romaine, creamy Caesar dressing, Parmesan cheese, and crispy croutons. It’s like the best parts of a Caesar salad… just rolled up and ready to take anywhere! Serve it with our Crispy Air Fryer French Fries and Easy Fruit Salad, and lunch is done.

Key Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make these Chicken Caesar Wraps:
- Cooked chicken – Grilled, baked, rotisserie, or Instant Pot—whatever’s easiest!
- Romaine lettuce – Crisp and refreshing, perfect for Caesar flavor.
- Caesar dressing – Use your favorite store-bought brand or make your own.
- Parmesan cheese – Freshly grated is best for flavor.
- Croutons – Crunchy and seasoned, they add the perfect texture.
- Tomatoes – Diced or halved cherry tomatoes for a pop of color and juiciness.
- Tortilla wraps – We love using herbed burrito-size wraps for extra flavor.
How to Make Chicken Caesar Wraps
- Cook and cube the chicken – Grill, bake, or use Instant Pot chicken breasts. Let cool slightly and chop into bite-size pieces.
- Toss the salad – In a large bowl, mix romaine, Caesar dressing, Parmesan, and chicken until everything is well coated.
- Assemble the wraps – Place the salad mixture in the center of each tortilla.
- Top and wrap – Add tomatoes and croutons, then roll tightly like a burrito. Slice in half and serve!
Tips and Suggestions
- Grilled or baked chicken breast works great, but rotisserie chicken is my go-to when I’m short on time. You can also use breaded chicken, leftover chicken, or even make shredded chicken in the Instant Pot – see our Easy Instant Pot Chicken Breasts recipe.
- Do yourself a favor and use actual shredded Parmesan cheese, and not the stuff from the container. It tastes so much better and is not that much more expensive.
- If you’re looking to make these wraps healthier, use a low-cal Caesar dressing. My favorite store-bought dressing to use for this recipe is Brianna’s Asiago Caesar but any kind will work.
- Switch it up – Add crispy bacon, use breaded chicken, or even swap in shrimp for a fun twist!
- I love making my own croutons with the the heels of our family’s bread loaves. Nobody likes the heels, but I just dice them up, toss them in some garlic salt and olive oil, then bake for about 10 minutes until they’re crispy. Much more cost effective, and they taste delicious!
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! These wraps can be made up to a day ahead. For best results, store the salad mixture separately from the wrap and croutons to avoid sogginess. Assemble right before serving.
Yes, breaded chicken can be used in these wraps. You can also use grilled shrimp, or even crispy tofu for a vegetarian twist.
Make sure not to overfill the tortilla, and wrap it tightly like a burrito—fold in the sides, then roll it up from the bottom. You can also wrap them in foil or parchment to help hold everything together.
We love using burrito-size herbed tortillas for extra flavor, but plain flour or whole wheat wraps work just as well. Just make sure they’re large enough to hold all the filling.
You sure can! Warm the chicken slightly before assembling the wrap if you prefer a warm filling. Just don’t heat it too much or the lettuce will wilt.

Notes
- To make ahead – Follow the recipe above, but eliminate the croutons. You can add them in just before serving. Use plastic wrap to completely cover the wrap. Keep wrap refrigerated or in a cooler until ready to eat.
- Save time with rotisserie chicken – It’s already cooked and super flavorful.
- Try homemade croutons – I make mine with the heels of our sandwich bread. Toss with garlic salt and olive oil, then bake until crisp.
- Use real Parmesan – Skip the green can and go for freshly shredded. It makes all the difference!
- Make it lighter – Use a whole wheat wrap and low-fat Caesar dressing if you’re looking for a healthier option.
- Switch it up – Add crispy bacon, use breaded chicken, or even swap in shrimp for a fun twist!

Just a quick question- it looks like the chicken in the photo is breaded? Is that right? Looks yummy.
Yes, we have done it both ways. You can either grill and dice a chicken breasts or bake and dice some chicken tenders. Either way works great!

We loved these wraps! Delicious with Costco tortillas. In the future I am going to do the dressing on the side because we had so much leftover that the dressing made everything pretty soggy. I compensated by adding more spinach leaves each time we had them for leftovers. Worked okay.
