How to Make Chicken Caesar Wrap Step-by-Step

1. Prep the Ingredients

• Chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces.
• Cut chicken into cubes or strips if not already prepped.
• Grate the Parmesan cheese.

2. Mix the Filling

• In a large bowl, combine chicken, lettuce, Caesar dressing, and Parmesan.
• Toss until the chicken and lettuce are evenly coated.
• Add crushed croutons for extra crunch.

3. Warm the Tortillas

• Heat tortillas for about 15 seconds in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
• This prevents tearing when rolling the wraps.

4. Assemble the Wraps

• Lay each tortilla flat.
• Place the filling in the center, leaving space at the edges.
• Fold the sides inward, then roll tightly from the bottom up to enclose the filling.

5. Slice & Serve

• Cut each wrap in half diagonally for easier eating.
• Serve immediately, or wrap in foil for grab-and-go meals.

Serving and Decoration

Chicken Caesar Wraps are versatile and easy to serve:

• With Soup: Pair with tomato or vegetable soup for a balanced meal.
• As a Snack Plate: Serve alongside fruit, chips, or veggie sticks.
• For Parties: Cut into smaller pieces and serve as finger food.

Storing Chicken Caesar Wraps

• In the Fridge: Wrap tightly in foil or plastic wrap, store for up to 2 days.
• For Meal Prep: Store the filling separately from tortillas, then assemble just before eating to avoid soggy wraps.
• Not Freezer-Friendly: The lettuce and dressing don’t thaw well.

Tips and Tricks for Success

• Don’t Overfill: Too much filling makes the wraps hard to roll. Keep it balanced.
• Use Fresh Lettuce: Romaine should be crisp. Wilted leaves will make the wrap soggy.
• Toast the Tortillas: Lightly toasting adds flavor and prevents sogginess.
• Crunch Last: Add croutons just before wrapping to keep their crunch.
• Cut with a Sharp Knife: A clean cut makes the wraps look neat and easier to serve.
