Rotisserie Chicken or Grilled Chicken: Already cooked chicken saves time; grilled adds smoky flavor—both make the wrap hearty.
Romaine Lettuce: Crisp and refreshing, it holds up well inside the wrap without going soggy quickly.
Grape Tomatoes: Their bite-sized sweetness balances the savory notes of the Caesar dressing.
Parmesan Cheese: Adds that nutty, salty punch that’s essential for Caesar salads.
Avocado: Creamy texture that enriches the wrap and adds healthy fat.
Tortillas (Whole Wheat or White): Soft, flexible wraps keep everything together and add a little chewiness.
Greek Yogurt: Makes the dressing creamy and tangy with a bit of protein.
Mayonnaise: Creates richness and binds the dressing ingredients.
Olive Oil: Adds smooth mouthfeel and depth.
Anchovy Fillets: This is the secret umami boost that makes the dressing taste authentic and deeply savory.
Lemon Juice: Brightens the dressing for freshness.
Worcestershire Sauce: Adds complexity and a touch of sweetness.
Dijon Mustard: Gives a gentle tang and helps emulsify the dressing.
Minced Garlic: Packs a punch of flavor that ties everything together.
Salt and Black Pepper: Essential for seasoning to taste and balancing flavors.

Make It Your Way

One of the best things about this Chicken Caesar Wraps Recipe is how easily you can tailor it. I tend to switch up the greens depending on what I have—sometimes I use kale for a heartier wrap or add a pinch of red pepper flakes if I want some heat.

Variation: I once swapped out chicken for chickpeas in a pinch, tossed with a little smoked paprika, and it turned out surprisingly good for a vegetarian version.
Make it Lighter: Use all Greek yogurt instead of mayo for a fresher, lower-calorie dressing.
Extra Crunch: Adding thinly sliced cucumbers or crispy bacon gives a lovely crunch and extra flavor punch.
Wrap Alternatives: Lettuce wraps make this gluten-free and ultra fresh if tortillas aren’t an option.

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

Step 1: Whisk the Homemade Caesar Dressing

Start by mixing the Greek yogurt, mayo, olive oil, mashed anchovies, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic in a bowl. Give everything a good whisk until smooth. Taste and season with salt and pepper gently—you want just enough salt to enhance the other flavors without overpowering the brightness.

Step 2: Toss the Chicken and Veggies

Grab a big bowl and add your chopped rotisserie or grilled chicken, chopped Romaine lettuce, halved grape tomatoes, and shredded Parmesan. Pour over the dressing and use tongs to toss everything well so the dressing coats all the ingredients evenly.

Step 3: Gently Fold in the Avocado

After the initial toss, add diced avocado and fold everything gently to avoid mashing the avocado but still distribute it evenly throughout the mixture. Those creamy chunks are truly the star here.

Step 4: Assemble and Wrap

Warm your tortillas slightly to make them easier to roll and more pliable. Lay each tortilla flat and spoon a line of the dressed chicken Caesar salad down the center. If you like, tuck in the ends gently before rolling to prevent any filling from escaping. Then roll it up snugly and cut in half.

Top Tip

I’ve made these wraps dozens of times, and these little tips always save the day, especially when I want a perfect wrap that doesn’t fall apart or taste flat.

Use Warm Tortillas: Warming your wraps for 10 seconds in the microwave or a dry skillet makes rolling much easier and keeps the wrap together.
Don’t Overdress the Salad: Too much dressing can make the wrap soggy—start with less, and add more if needed after tossing.
Pat Dry the Romaine: If your leaves are wet, the wrap can get soggy fast; a salad spinner or clean towel makes a big difference.
Keep Avocado Fresh: Mix avocado with a tiny squeeze of lemon juice before folding it in to help prevent browning if you’re assembling ahead.

How to Serve Chicken Caesar Wraps Recipe

Chicken Caesar Wraps - Serving Suggestion

Garnishes

I love sprinkling a bit more Parmesan cheese on top after slicing just for that extra cheesy hit. Sometimes a dusting of freshly cracked black pepper or a few anchovy bits on the side can delight those who want more boldness.

Side Dishes

Crispy sweet potato fries or a simple cup of tomato soup are my go-tos alongside these wraps. They balance the creamy, tangy flavors and add some warmth or crunch.

Creative Ways to Present

For a party, I like slicing the wraps into smaller pinwheels pinned with toothpicks—perfect finger food! You can also wrap them in parchment and tie with rustic twine for a charming picnic vibe.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

Leftovers keep well in the fridge but I recommend storing the salad mix and tortillas separately if possible to avoid sogginess. If already wrapped, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and eat within 24 hours for best freshness.

Freezing

I don’t usually freeze these wraps because the fresh lettuce and avocado don’t freeze well, but you can freeze cooked chicken separately for quick prep next time.

Reheating

If you do refrigerate a wrapped wrap, remove and unwrap before warming gently in the microwave for 20 seconds to avoid sogginess—then add fresh avocado or extra lettuce if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I use cooked chicken other than rotisserie?

Absolutely! Grilled chicken breast is a wonderful alternative that I often use. Just season well and cook until juicy. Leftover roast chicken or baked chicken also works great.

What if I don't like anchovies?

You can omit anchovies if they’re not your thing, but they do add that signature umami depth. Consider adding a bit of Worcestershire sauce or a dash of soy sauce to compensate for richness.

Can I make this vegetarian?

Definitely! Swap the chicken for roasted chickpeas or grilled tofu and adjust the dressing by skipping anchovies and Worcestershire sauce. Add more veggies like cucumber or bell pepper to keep it delicious.

How do I prevent the wrap from becoming soggy?

The key is not to overdress the salad and keep the components dry especially romaine lettuce. Assemble the wrap just before eating and warm the tortillas slightly before wrapping to keep everything tight and fresh.
