All the bold taste of a Caesar salad gets packed in an easy handheld here, ready in minutes. Throw it together quick when you don’t wanna cook—my kids totally devoured them at lunch, and I love how fast it is without losing out on taste.
I brought these along to a family get-together and everyone wanted more immediately. Even my husband, who isn’t big on salads, asked for them in his lunches after that.
Mouthwatering Ingredients
- Big flour or wheat tortillas: the wrapper that keeps everything inside, go for large so wrapping is simple
- Fresh ground black pepper: add as much as you like for some heat
- Caesar dressing: creamy and zingy, ties all the flavors together—store-bought or homemade, your call
- Croutons: those crunchy bits, you can use bakery ones or make your own if you want
- Fresh parmesan (grated): gives that salty, nutty punch—just grate a chunk for the best flavor
- Sliced cherry tomatoes: pop of sweetness, pick firm, colorful ones
- Romaine lettuce (chopped): crisp and snappy, pick the darkest green for max crunch
- Chicken, cooked and chopped: gives you that filling protein, rotisserie is super fast, or poach your own for more taste
Straightforward Steps
- Get Ready to Eat:
- Either serve the wraps whole or slice into halves for bite-sized snacks. If you’re prepping for later, wrap tightly in parchment or foil and chill in the fridge until you grab one.
- Bundle It Up:
- Fold the sides of your tortilla in, then start rolling from the bottom edge up. Roll snug (just don’t squish it). Hold together with toothpicks if needed.
- Add the Filling:
- Put a tortilla on the table. Put a heap of your chicken salad mix on the lower third and spread it in a line, so rolling’s simple.
- Toss the Filling:
- Put chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, parmesan, croutons, caesar dressing, and black pepper in a huge bowl. Mix until everything’s totally coated and creamy.

Honestly, I think the parmesan’s the best here. That salty, nutty kick totally changes how plain chicken and lettuce taste. My daughter even said she liked it more than takeout when we ate out on the porch in the sunshine.
Storage Pointers
Keep leftovers wrapped tight in plastic or foil in the fridge for a day. If you want your wrap to stay fresh and not soggy, store tortilla and salad filling in separate containers and combine just before eating. Makes an awesome lunch for busy days.
Simple Substitutes
- Swap chicken for turkey or shrimp to change things up
- Pick Greek yogurt-based caesar dressing for a lighter option
- Mix in cucumber, shredded carrot, or avocado for crunch and flavor
- No romaine at home? Spinach or kale is totally good too
Creative Serving Ideas
- Cut wraps into small rounds for easy snacking at parties
- Put them next to chips or a fruit salad for a relaxed lunch
- Warm up the wraps in a panini grill if you like it hot
- Serve with hot soup for a cozy meal when you want comfort

Classic Caesar Fun
Caesar salad actually comes from Mexico and turned into a North American lunchtime favorite all thanks to its punchy dressing and crunch. Wrapping it up in a tortilla makes it totally different. My kids think salads are way more fun this way and honestly, it’s so easy for grown-ups too.
Common Questions
- → Is leftover chicken okay for these wraps?
Absolutely! Chopped-up grilled or even roasted chicken from dinner last night works great. It might even boost the flavor.
- → What can I use instead of Caesar dressing?
Try ranch or your top-choice vinaigrette if you want to change things up. Caesar gives the classic taste, but it’s fun to swap sometimes.
- → Which greens do you recommend?
Can’t go wrong with romaine for that crisp texture and OG taste, but use whatever greens you’ve got hanging out in the fridge.
- → How do I add a healthy twist?
Whole wheat tortillas, a lighter hand with the dressing, or veggies like bell pepper and cucumber make things feel lighter and fresher.
- → Any trick to stop wraps from getting soggy?
Definitely! Stir everything together right before you wrap up, and eat soon after. Dry your lettuce off with a paper towel to keep things nice and crisp, too.
