How to Make Chicken Caesar Wraps

1. Toss romaine and chicken pieces in a bowl with Caesar dressing until evenly coated. If you like it brighter, add lemon juice.
2. Sprinkle in parmesan-style topping and crushed croutons. Stir gently so the croutons stay a little crunchy.
3. Warm tortillas for 10–15 seconds in the microwave so they roll without tearing.
4. Fill each tortilla with the Caesar mixture, keeping it centered and not too close to the edges.
5. Roll tightly like a burrito: fold in the sides, then roll up snug. Slice in half for easy eating.
6. Serve right away for best crunch. If the filling looks too wet, add a handful more romaine.

Tips for Perfect Chicken Caesar Wraps

Dry the romaine: Extra water makes wraps soggy fast.
Toss before wrapping: Even coating means better flavor in every bite.
Add crunch last: Croutons stay crisp longer if you stir them in right before wrapping.
Roll tight: Tight wraps slice cleaner and hold together.
Pack smart: Keep filling separate if making far ahead.

Variations & Substitutions

Spicy Caesar: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce.
Extra veggie: Add sliced cucumbers or shredded carrots for crunch.
Lighter version: Use a lighter Caesar dressing and add extra romaine.
Low-carb option: Wrap in large romaine leaves instead of tortillas.
Leftover idea: Turn filling into a Caesar bowl with extra croutons.

Storing & Reheating

Store the Caesar filling in the fridge for up to 3 days. For best texture, assemble wraps right before eating.
If you must store assembled wraps, wrap tightly and eat within 24 hours (they will soften).

Serving Suggestions & Pairings

Pair with fruit and pretzels for a lunchbox-style meal.
Serve with a cup of soup for a cozy lunch.
Add a side of roasted vegetables for dinner.
Great for meal prep: prep the filling, then wrap in minutes.
