🌯 Chicken Caesar wrap
A chicken Caesar wrap rolls the ingredients of a chicken Caesar salad — grilled chicken, crisp romaine lettuce, shaved parmesan and creamy Caesar dressing — into a large soft flour tortilla. Each bite is cool and crunchy from the lettuce, savoury from the chicken and sharp from the cheese and garlicky dressing. It is a popular grab-and-go lunch, eaten cold or lightly toasted.

Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 large flour tortillas
- 250 g chicken breast
- 1 tsp oil, salt and pepper
- 1 small head romaine lettuce, shredded
- 30 g parmesan, shaved
- 4 tbsp Caesar dressing
Method
- Season the chicken with salt, pepper and oil and grill 5–6 minutes per side; rest and slice.
- Toss the lettuce with the dressing and half the parmesan.
- Warm the tortillas briefly in a dry pan.
- Lay the salad and chicken in the centre, scatter the remaining parmesan and roll tightly, folding in the sides.
- Cut in half on the diagonal and serve, or toast seam-side down for a crisp outside.
How to make it lighter
- Use 1 tbsp dressing per wrap or a yogurt-based light Caesar; 1 tbsp creamy dressing ≈ 70–80 kcal.
- Load more lettuce and chicken and less parmesan.
- Choose a smaller tortilla, or eat half the wrap with a side salad.
History
Caesar salad is usually credited to restaurateur Caesar Cardini in Tijuana in the 1920s. The wrap version is a later American café and deli idea, now a common lunch option across the United States and beyond.
