Why We Love These Simple Chicken Caesar Wraps

They’re easy to make ahead, kid-friendly, and perfect for busy days when you still want a flavorful, satisfying meal.
Tips for the Best Chicken Caesar Wraps:
- Use rotisserie chicken: A quick shortcut that saves time and adds great flavor.
- Warm your tortillas: Warming makes them softer and less likely to tear while rolling.
- Keep croutons crunchy: Add crushed croutons just before eating so they don’t get soggy.
- Make ahead: Assemble the filling ahead of time, then wrap fresh to keep tortillas from becoming soggy.
Suggestions & Variations:
- Add bacon: Crumbled cooked bacon adds a smoky, salty kick.
- Include veggies: Sliced avocado, diced cucumber, or shredded carrots make the wraps even more colorful and nutritious.
- Make it spicy: Drizzle with a little hot sauce or add sliced jalapeños for a kick.
- Go mini: Use smaller tortillas and serve as pinwheels or snack-sized wraps for parties or lunchboxes.
Substitutions:
- Protein: Swap chicken for turkey, shrimp, salmon, tofu, or chickpeas for a different twist.
- Lettuce: Use spinach, kale, or mixed greens if romaine isn’t available.
- Dressing: Try a Greek yogurt-based Caesar dressing for a lighter version, or use ranch dressing for a kid-friendly swap.
- Wraps: Whole wheat, spinach, or low-carb tortillas work great. You can also use pita bread or lettuce leaves for a low-carb option.
- Dairy-free: Skip the Parmesan and use a dairy-free dressing to make it dairy-free.
