Keep It Fresh

If you are meal prepping, store the components separately for maximum crunch. Keep the dressed salad in one container and chicken in another. Assemble your Chicken Caesar Wraps right before you are ready to eat.

Leftover grilled chicken will stay good for up to three days. Keep the tortillas in a sealed bag to prevent them from drying out. Avoid freezing these as the lettuce will lose its crispy texture.

Recipe Tips

• Lightly crush the croutons so they distribute evenly in every bite.
• Warm the tortillas for 10 seconds to make them easier to roll.
• Pat the romaine lettuce dry so the dressing sticks better.
• Let the chicken rest so the juices stay inside the meat.
• Use a high-quality Caesar dressing for the best overall flavor profile.
• Don’t overfill the wraps or they might tear while rolling.

Ways to Switch It Up

• Swap the flour tortilla for a spinach or sun-dried tomato wrap.
• Add sliced avocado for an extra creamy texture and healthy fats.
• Use crispy fried chicken strips if you want a bit more indulgence.
• Add a splash of hot sauce for a spicy Caesar kick.

FAQs

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, but keep the dressing separate until you are ready to serve. This prevents the tortilla and lettuce from getting soggy over time.

What is the best chicken to use?

Boneless skinless chicken breasts are lean and easy to slice into strips. You can also use rotisserie chicken to save even more time.
