Chicken Caesar Salad Wraps

Chicken Caesar Salad Wraps are just like the classic salad but wrapped up in a tortilla. It's also a no oven dinner that can be made ahead of time or taken on the go. The best part is the easy homemade Caesar salad dressing!

Ingredients

Caesar salad dressing

1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup olive oil I use extra virgin olive oil 'light tasting'
1/4 cup freshly shredded Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice about 1 large lemon
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1½ teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 clove garlic minced or pressed

Wraps

3 cups chopped or shredded cooked chicken (I use a rotisserie chicken)
1 bag (9 oz) chopped romaine lettuce
1/2 cup roughly chopped croutons
1/4 cup freshly shredded Parmesan cheese
3 roma tomatoes seeded & chopped
6 large burrito-size flour tortillas

Instructions

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together all the caesar dressing ingredients until well combined and smooth. Set aside or place it in the fridge so it can chill for a few minutes.
1/3 cup mayonnaise, 1/3 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup freshly shredded Parmesan cheese, 2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice, 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, 1½ teaspoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 clove garlic
In a separate larger bowl, add the chicken, chopped romaine lettuce, chopped croutons, parmesan cheese, and the Caesar salad dressing (set aside from earlier). Stir everything together until well combined and all the ingredients are coated in dressing.
3 cups chopped or shredded cooked chicken, 1 bag (9 oz) chopped romaine lettuce, 1/2 cup roughly chopped croutons, 1/4 cup freshly shredded Parmesan cheese
Lay a large flour tortilla on a cutting board. Place a scoop of the Caesar salad mixture onto the tortilla, and add some of the chopped tomatoes. Roll up burrito-style and cut the wrap in the middle for serving. Enjoy!

Notes

If you want to skip the homemade caesar dressing use a store-bought dressing instead. Olive Garden has a good Caesar dressing or try one of the refrigerated dressings for the best flavor. I highly recommend making the simple homemade dressing - it's worth it and the ingredients are easy & simple.
Use any croutons you love! Chop them up into smaller, finer pieces or leave them in larger chopped pieces; whichever you prefer.
Instead of shredded chicken you can use crispy chicken strips or frozen crispy chicken tenders, that have been cooked in the air fryer or oven, and chopped not bite-sized pieces or left whole.
To fold the wrap 'burrito-style' you'll first want to fold in the sides of the tortilla, and then roll it up like a burrito, and cut it in half to form a wrap for serving. Another options for serving is to skip putting the romaine lettuce inside the chicken mixture, and instead serve the creamy caesar chicken mixture inside green leaf lettuce or a butter lettuce wrap.
Instead of taking out the seeds and dicing Roma tomatoes, you can use cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes that have been cut in half instead.
Optional add-ins include crispy bacon bits or avocado slices.
I prefer the dressing chilled so I make the dressing up to 24 hours ahead of time and let it refrigerate, covered in an airtight container, until I am ready to make the wraps.
I highly recommend grabbing a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store for this recipe - the chicken is already seasoned, ready-to-use, and so tender.
