Make It Your Way

I often switch up this Chicken Caesar Wraps Recipe based on what I have on hand or who I’m cooking for. It’s incredibly forgiving and adapts well to just about any preference or dietary need.

Variation: When it’s summer, I love adding fresh basil or swapping grape tomatoes for sun-dried tomatoes for an intense flavor burst.
Vegetarian Option: Skip the chicken and add chickpeas or grilled portobello mushrooms, and it’s still delicious.
Spicy Kick: Mix a little hot sauce into the dressing or sprinkle red pepper flakes over the wrap to give it some heat.
Gluten-free: Use gluten-free tortillas or large lettuce leaves like romaine hearts to make it wrap-friendly and gluten-free.

Step-by-Step: How I Make Chicken Caesar Wraps Recipe

Step 1: Whisk Together a Dreamy Caesar Dressing

Start by mixing the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, olive oil, mashed anchovy fillets, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic in a bowl. Whisk them until smooth and creamy. Season it with salt and pepper to taste. This dressing is the heart of the wrap—it’s bright, tangy, and packed with umami. I like to make it first and refrigerate if I’m short on time.

Step 2: Toss Your Salad Filling

In a large bowl, combine the chopped rotisserie chicken, crisp romaine lettuce, halved grape tomatoes, and shredded parmesan. Drizzle the dressing over everything, then use tongs to toss gently but thoroughly—making sure every bit gets that delicious Caesar coating. Then fold in the diced avocado carefully to avoid mashing it.

Step 3: Assemble the Wraps

Warm your tortillas to make them more pliable (a quick few seconds in the microwave or a warm skillet works great). Lay out each tortilla and spoon a row of the salad mixture down the center. You can tuck the edges of the tortilla in first before rolling to avoid fillings spilling out, especially if you’re taking these on the go. Roll them up snugly, then cut each in half to serve.

Top Tip

From my experience making these wraps over and over, a few little tricks really boost the final result and help avoid common pitfalls.

Keep the Lettuce Dry: Use well-drained, dry romaine lettuce—wet leaves dilute the dressing and make the wrap soggy fast.
Use Warm Tortillas: Warming the tortillas a bit makes wrapping easier and less likely to crack or break.
Toss Gently With Avocado: Add avocado at the very end to keep those creamy chunks intact and fresh looking.
Secure the Ends: Tuck the ends of your tortilla in before rolling to keep the filling neatly inside, especially if you pack these for lunch.

How to Serve Chicken Caesar Wraps Recipe

Chicken Caesar Wraps - Serving Suggestion

Garnishes

I love adding a sprinkle of extra parmesan and a few freshly cracked black pepper twists on top of the cut wraps for both look and flavor. Sometimes, a few lemon wedges on the side brighten the whole experience—just squeeze a bit of fresh lemon before digging in!

Side Dishes

My favorite sides include crunchy oven-baked sweet potato fries or a crisp cucumber salad dressed lightly with olive oil and dill. These sides complement the wrap's fresh flavors without overpowering them.

Creative Ways to Present

For a casual party, I like to slice the wraps into bite-sized pinwheels and serve with toothpicks—makes them perfect finger food. For picnics, wrapping each in parchment paper not only looks cute but keeps everything intact during transport.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

I recommend storing the filling and tortillas separately if you want to prep ahead. Once combined and wrapped, the tortillas can get soggy after a few hours. If the wraps are already assembled, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate—best eaten within 24 hours.

Freezing

This recipe doesn’t freeze well once wrapped because the lettuce wilts and the texture suffers. But you can freeze cooked chicken ahead of time and thaw it when you're ready to make the wraps fresh.

Reheating

If you have leftovers, I usually eat them cold, but if you want a warm wrap, unwrap it and heat the chicken portion in a skillet or microwave just until warm, then reassemble with fresh lettuce and tomatoes to keep the crunch.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I make the dressing ahead of time?

Absolutely! The dressing can be made up to 3 days in advance and kept refrigerated in an airtight container. This actually helps the flavors meld beautifully.

What’s the best way to grill chicken for these wraps?

I recommend pounding the chicken breasts to an even thickness, then seasoning them with a simple Italian seasoning blend. Grill over medium-high heat for about 4 minutes per side until cooked through—juicy and flavorful every time.

Can I substitute the anchovy fillets if I don’t like them?

Yes, you can omit the anchovies or replace them with a teaspoon of capers or a dash of soy sauce to maintain that salty umami flavor without the fishiness.

How do I prevent the wrap from getting soggy?

Make sure your lettuce is thoroughly dried, and consider wrapping the ingredients just before eating. Tucking in the ends of the tortilla when wrapping also helps keep moisture contained and prevents leaks.
