Ingredients You’ll Need

The best part about making a Chicken Caesar Wrap is how it turns simple, everyday ingredients into something totally delicious. Each ingredient brings a little extra crunch, flavor, or creaminess, so don’t skip any for the real, robust Caesar experience!

Rotisserie Chicken: Pick up a pre-cooked chicken for juicy, flavorful meat and maximum convenience.
Romaine Lettuce: Its crunch stands up beautifully to the creamy Caesar dressing and gives your wrap lots of freshness.
Grape Tomatoes: Halved for bursts of sweetness that cut through the richness.
Parmesan Cheese: Go for finely shredded – it melts seamlessly into the wrap while adding that distinctive savory punch.
Avocado: Diced for creamy bites that make every mouthful even more satisfying.
Tortillas (Whole Wheat or White): Large burrito-size tortillas are perfect for containing all your fillings without any mess.
Greek Yogurt: Adds a healthier, tangy base for the dressing while keeping it creamy.
Mayonnaise: Rounds out the dressing for that ultra-smooth Caesar texture.
Olive Oil: Adds depth and a silky finish to the homemade dressing.
Anchovy Fillets: Mashed into a paste for classic Caesar umami; trust me, you won’t taste fishiness, just pure flavor.
Lemon Juice: Brings a zippy brightness that wakes up the whole wrap.
Worcestershire Sauce: Just a splash delivers depth and rounds out those savory notes.
Dijon Mustard: Gives a bit of tang and heat to the dressing.
Minced Garlic: A classic Caesar must-have that infuses the wrap with aromatic punch.
Salt and Black Pepper: Season to taste for a balanced finish.

How to Make Chicken Caesar Wrap

Step 1: Whisk Together the Dressing

Kick things off by making the luscious Caesar dressing. Grab a small bowl and combine the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, olive oil, mashed anchovy fillets, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic. Whisk until everything is totally smooth and blended. Don’t forget to season generously with salt and black pepper for the perfect balance of flavors!

Step 2: Prepare the Salad Filling

In a large mixing bowl, toss together the chopped rotisserie chicken, crisp Romaine lettuce, juicy grape tomatoes, and finely shredded Parmesan cheese. This is the moment all those textures and colors come alive. Drizzle over your homemade Caesar dressing and use tongs to toss the salad until every bite is deliciously coated.

Step 3: Add Avocado

Gently add in your diced avocado last, then give the salad one more gentle toss. The avocado should stay in nice chunks, offering creamy bites without turning mushy.

Step 4: Fill and Roll Your Wraps

Lay out your warmed burrito-size tortillas. Pile a generous amount of the Chicken Caesar salad mixture along the center of each tortilla, leaving enough room at the edges for easy wrapping. For a neat finish (and to keep every bite together), tuck in the ends of each tortilla before rolling tightly.

Step 5: Slice and Serve

Use a sharp knife to slice each Chicken Caesar Wrap in half. This reveals all those gorgeous layers and makes them easier to handle. Serve immediately while they’re extra fresh!

How to Serve Chicken Caesar Wrap

Garnishes

The finishing touches make your Chicken Caesar Wrap truly pop! Try a sprinkle of extra Parmesan cheese or a few freshly cracked black peppercorns right over the top. For extra color, add a flourish of chopped parsley or finely sliced chives. If you adore a briny kick, nestle a few capers or chopped olives inside for an unexpected twist.

Side Dishes

Pair your wraps with a crisp side salad (extra greens never hurt) or some crunchy baked potato chips for a classic lunch combo. Fresh fruit, veggie sticks, or even a light soup like tomato basil also make fabulous partners for this wrap—no matter if you’re serving them for a picnic or a busy weeknight dinner.

Creative Ways to Present

For gatherings, slice each Chicken Caesar Wrap into pinwheels and spear with toothpicks for the easiest party platter—people will love grabbing these tasty, handheld bites. Or try wrapping in parchment paper and tying with twine for an Instagram-worthy meal prep lunch. If you’re serving a family dinner, arrange the halved wraps in a colorful row on a platter and let everyone dig in!

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

If you have leftover Chicken Caesar Wrap components, store the salad mixture and tortillas separately so the wraps don’t soften. Keep the filling in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. When you’re ready, just assemble and go!

Freezing

Freezing assembled Chicken Caesar Wraps isn’t recommended—the lettuce and avocado don’t hold up well to thawing and can become mushy. If you must freeze, only do so with the chicken and cheese portion, then add fresh veggies and dressing when you’re ready to serve.

Reheating

Chicken Caesar Wraps are best enjoyed cold or at room temperature for peak freshness. If you’re using leftover grilled chicken, you can gently reheat the chicken before adding it to your salad, but avoid microwaving assembled wraps which can wilt the lettuce and compromise the avocado.

FAQs

Can I use grilled chicken instead of rotisserie chicken?

Absolutely! Grilled chicken gives a beautiful smoky note and works just as well in this Chicken Caesar Wrap. It’s a fantastic way to use up leftovers from another meal too.

What can I substitute for anchovies in the dressing?

If you’re not a fan of anchovies, you can leave them out or substitute with an extra teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce for that umami depth. The dressing will still be delicious!

Are there gluten-free options for the tortillas?

Totally! Look for gluten-free burrito-size tortillas at your grocery store, or make your own if you’re feeling adventurous. All the same fillings work beautifully with gluten-free wraps.

How long does the homemade Caesar dressing keep?

The dressing can be made ahead and stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to three days. Give it a good stir before using—it may separate a little as it sits.

Can I make Chicken Caesar Wraps vegetarian?

For a meat-free option, swap in roasted chickpeas, grilled tofu, or your favorite plant-based chicken alternative. You might want to skip the anchovies in the dressing, but keep the rest of those bold flavors!

Final Thoughts

If you’re craving a portable, punchy, and satisfying meal, the Chicken Caesar Wrap is here to be your new go-to! I can’t wait for you to roll one up and taste just how much flavor and crunch can fit into a tortilla. Give this recipe a try, and don’t be surprised if it becomes your next lunch or dinner staple!
