Easy Chicken Caesar Wraps make the perfect lunch or quick dinner. A wrap version of your favorite classic Caesar salad, this easy recipe covers all macronutrient bases.

Have you ever thought to yourself, “Sure, I like salad, but I wish it were easier to eat?”

Welcome to wraps.

I’ve been eating Caesar wraps since my college days back when the wooly mammoth roamed. Why? I love Caesar salads so much that I want the experience to be as intimate as ravishing a burrito.

Made with a handful of basic ingredients that you can find at any grocery store, these easy chicken Caesar salad wraps are everything I crave in a refreshing meal.

They’re packed with protein and healthy fats (depending on the dressing selection), and contain carbohydrates and a smidge of fiber. Not too shabby for a meal that takes less than 10 minutes to make!

I use gluten-free tortillas and dressing made with avocado oil for a good source of resistant starch and healthy fats. Use any brand of tortillas and any Caesar salad dressing you like!

Fair warning: I eat this entire recipe in one sitting. Depending on your hunger level and how many people you’re feeding, plan accordingly.

This recipe makes enough for two wraps. Feel free to double or triple the recipe if you’re trying to make more wraps.

Let’s discuss the simple ingredients!

Ingredients for a Chicken Caesar Wrap:

Greens: I like using a combination of Romaine lettuce and Spring Mix. The reason being, Spring mix contains a variety of baby lettuces that are packed with vitamins, where romaine doesn’t contain as much nutrition.

Cooked Chicken: Use rotisserie chicken, leftover grilled chicken or baked chicken breasts for the chicken portion of the recipe. Any kind of leftover chicken works here! I use store-bought pre-cooked chicken to make the prep time ultra quick.

If you’d like to cook the chicken yourself, poach or bake one skinless chicken breast sprinkled with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Caesar Dressing: Pick your favorite Caesar dressing! For homemade Caesar dressing, I make my Paleo Caesar Salad Dressing, and I use Primal Kitchen Caesar Dressing for store-bought dressing.

Cherry Tomatoes: While the tomatoes are optional, I love that they bring a fresh zing to the wraps Skip them if you aren’t into it.

Parmesan Cheese: Sprinkle in some grated parmesan cheese for extra delicious flavor!

Large Tortillas: If you don’t have dietary restrictions, stick with regular flour tortillas that are large (meant for burritos).

If you follow a low-carb diet, use your favorite brand of low-carb tortillas.

There are many brands of gluten-free tortillas that hold together nicely!

Look, I tried using grain-free tortillas and tortilla pieces exploded all over my hands and plate, so I don’t recommend it if you want to have a good time.

Optional Additions: Black pepper, red onion, diced avocado, cooked crispy bacon, and croutons are all amazing additions. Feel free to get creative here!

Recipe Customizations:

Use all romaine (no spring mix) if you prefer crispy lettuce.

For crispy chicken, make my Gluten-Free Baked Breaded Chicken made with GF panko breadcrumbs.

How to Make a Chicken Caesar Wrap:

Place the romaine lettuce and the Spring greens on a large cutting board and chop into small pieces. This step makes the wraps easier to eat because you aren’t battling with large pieces of lettuce.

Similarly, chop the chicken and the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces.

Add the chopped lettuce, chicken, tomatoes, and parmesan cheese to a large mixing bowl. Add in your desired amount of dressing.

I use just 2 tablespoons for the full batch and find it is plenty. Toss everything together to combine. If need be, add extra dressing or parmesan cheese or even a drizzle of lemon juice.

Holding a tablespoon of dressing over the mixing bowl, ready to be added in.

Lay a tortilla flat on a plate then load the center of the tortilla with half of the salad mixture.

Note: if you’re using small tortillas, you may not be able to fit much in there, which could turn into a wrap with a side salad situation, no big deal.

Fold in the bottom of the tortilla, followed by the sides of the tortilla as you would a burrito, and enjoy!

I recommend making Caesar wraps just before you intend to eat them, as they always taste better fresh.

If you intend to make them for work lunches, bring the individual ingredients in separate containers or combine into one a large airtight container with the tortilla and dressing separate to make them on the spot.

And that’s it! An easy on-demand meal you’ll want to put on repeat.

The next time you’re craving a cool and refreshing meal for warm weather (hello summer!), whip up the best chicken Caesar wraps for a complete meal.
