Caesar Salad Wrap Recipe | Easy and Delicious Lunch Idea

Classic Caesar Salad Wrap Recipe with Romaine and Dressing

The first time I tried a homemade Caesar Salad Wrap Recipe, it was after a busy day when I wanted something quick but still satisfying. I had leftover Caesar salad in the fridge, tossed in some grilled chicken, and wrapped it in a tortilla. It turned out better than I expected. My first mistake, though, was overfilling the wrap, and it completely fell apart in my hands. Since then, I’ve learned to keep the balance between flavor and foldability.

This recipe is for anyone who wants a portable, no-fuss meal perfect for lunches, picnics, or a lighter dinner option.

Ingredients

  

• 4 large flour tortillas 10-inch size, warmed for easier rolling
• 2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
• 1 cup cooked chicken breasts sliced (grilled, roasted, or rotisserie)
• ½ cup Caesar dressing homemade or store-bought
• ½ cup croutons lightly crushed

Optional: bacon bits, avocado slices, or cherry tomatoes for extra flavor

Method

 

1. Prep the filling. In a bowl, toss romaine with Caesar dressing until lightly coated.
2. Add extras. Mix in the chicken, Parmesan, and crushed croutons.
3. Assemble the wrap. Place the filling in the center of the tortilla, leaving space at the edges.
4. Fold. Fold the sides inward, then roll tightly from the bottom up.
5. Serve. Slice in half and enjoy immediately, or wrap in foil for later.

Notes

Lesson learned: Overfilling makes wraps messy keep layers balanced.

Lettuce tip: Dry lettuce keeps wraps crisp instead of soggy.

Dressing: Homemade Caesar elevates the wrap, but store-bought works in a pinch.

Chicken: Warm or cold chicken both work, depending on preference.
