Let me tell you—if there’s one thing I love more than a big, crisp Caesar salad, it’s wrapping all that goodness up into a warm tortilla and calling it lunch! This chicken Caesar salad wrap is my kind of hybrid—fresh, crunchy, creamy, and downright hearty. It takes the classic flavors we all know and adore—garlicky Caesar dressing, juicy seasoned chicken, crisp lettuce, and plenty of salty parmesan cheese (plus some grape tomatoes for color and sweetness)—and turns them into the kind of meal you can grab on the go! I like to make them with whole wheat wraps, but you could use any flavor of wrap you love or have on hand—white wraps, spinach wraps, or tomato-basil wraps would be delicious here too.
Whether it’s a quick weeknight dinner, a make-ahead meal, or a picnic-perfect idea for the weekend, these chicken Caesar salad wraps are bound to become a repeat recipe in your house. They sure are in mine!
What goes in a chicken Caesar salad wrap?
A chicken Caesar salad wrap includes all the classic ingredients you'd expect from a Caesar salad, just wrapped up in a soft tortilla. It starts with bite-sized pieces of cooked chicken breast tossed with chopped romaine lettuce and grape tomatoes for a fresh pop of flavor,. Everything gets tossed in a creamy homemade dressing made with mayonnaise, dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and a little salt and pepper, plus lots of parmesan cheese. Once mixed, it all gets rolled up in a big tortilla that's easy to enjoy for lunch or dinner!
Can you make chicken Caesar salad wraps ahead of time?
Yes, you can definitely make chicken Caesar salad wraps ahead of time. Wrap them tightly in foil or parchment paper and keep them in the refrigerator for up to one day in advance of serving—longer than that and they will start to get soggy. You can also prep the components up to two days in advance and store them separately. Then dress the lettuce and assemble the wraps when you’re ready to eat.

Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp.
olive oil
- 2
large boneless, skinless chicken breast (1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds), cut into bite-size pieces
- 2 tsp.
seasoned salt (such as Lawry’s)
- 1 1/2 tsp.
black pepper
- 2/3 cup
mayonnaise
- 2 Tbsp.
dijon mustard
- 1 Tbsp.
balsamic vinegar
- 1 tsp.
garlic powder
5 to 6 dashes Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 tsp.
kosher salt
- 1
heart of romaine, chopped (6 to 8 cups)
- 1 1/4 cups
freshly grated parmesan cheese
4 (12-inch) whole-wheat flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup
grape tomatoes, halved
Directions
- Step 1In a medium skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, seasoned salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Set aside.
- Step 2To make the dressing, mix the mayonnaise, dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, kosher salt, and the remaining ½ teaspoon black pepper in a medium bowl until well combined. Add the lettuce and toss until well coated. Then add ¾ cup of the parmesan cheese and toss again.
- Step 3Lay out the tortillas and top each one with a quarter of the dressed romaine, tomatoes, and chicken. Sprinkle each with 2 tablespoons of the parmesan cheese. Roll up each tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides as you go to enclose the filling completely. Use a sharp knife to slice each wrap in half on a diagonal.
Tip: Cook the chicken and make the dressing up to two days ahead of time and store in air-tight containers in the fridge. Assemble the wraps up to one day ahead of time if desired.
