The weather is getting warmer, the sun is shining, and I’m starting to crave light, crisp, and fresh foods! These Chicken Caesar Wraps are light and refreshing, but still big on flavor and filling. These tasty wraps are pretty easy to make, even when you make them all from scratch like we did, but we’ve got some shortcuts you can take too, for when you’re low on time or energy!
A chicken Caesar wrap has all the fixin’s of a classic chicken Caesar salad (Romaine lettuce, Caesar dressing, chicken, Parmesan, and tomatoes) all wrapped up into a soft flour tortilla. Chicken Caesar salads typically contain croutons as well, but croutons can be large and sharp to bite into in a wrap, so we substituted them with some buttery seasoned breadcrumbs so our wraps would have crunch without the cuts. The combo is absolutely divine!
I get it, life gets hectic sometimes, so when you’re short on time or energy, use these shortcuts to make these homemade chicken Caesar wraps in less time:
Premade Chicken Caesar Wraps will stay good for about 4-6 hours before they begin to get a bit soft, so if you plan to pack your Chicken Caesar Wraps for lunch, take the following steps to ensure they don’t get soggy along the way:
See how we calculate recipe costs here.
Cut one chicken breast (about ⅔ lb.) into ½-inch pieces. Toss with 1 Tbsp olive oil, then add 1 Tbsp grated Parmesan, ¼ tsp Italian seasoning, ¼ tsp garlic powder, ¼ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp black pepper. Toss until the chicken is evenly coated in cheese and spices.
Heat a large skillet over medium. Once hot, add another tablespoon of olive oil and swirl to coat the surface. Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through (about 5 minutes). If needed, add a couple of tablespoons of water to loosen the chicken before flipping it to brown on the second side. The water will quickly evaporate, allowing the chicken to brown again.
Allow the chicken to cool while you prepare the remaining ingredients. Wash, drain, and chop 2 cups of Romaine lettuce. Slice ½ cup cherry tomatoes in half. Combine the lettuce, tomatoes, ½ cup Parmesan cheese, the cooled chicken, and ⅓ cup Caesar dressing in a bowl. Toss until everything is evenly combined.
Add 1 Tbsp butter, ¼ cup panko breadcrumbs, ¼ tsp Italian seasoning, ¼ tsp garlic powder, ¼ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp black pepper to a small skillet. Heat over medium while stirring until the butter has melted and the breadcrumbs have toasted slightly. Add the buttered breadcrumbs to the bowl with the other ingredients.
Toss the filling once again until everything is evenly mixed.
To soften the tortillas slightly and make them more pliable, stack them and heat in the microwave for about 15 seconds. Divide the salad mix between two large tortillas.
To fold the chicken Caesar wraps, start by folding the bottom side up and over the filling. Fold in each side to close up the ends, then continue to roll up over the folded sides until you have a burrito-shaped wrap.
Place a toothpick in the wrap to keep it closed, or wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or waxed paper. Enjoy within a few hours for the most crunch!
