Chicken Caesar Wrap
Simple Grilled Chicken Caesar Wrap with Optional Zesty Dressing.
The Chicken Caesar Wrap is a classic for a reason: tender chicken, crisp romaine, creamy dressing, and Parmesan cheese, all rolled up in a soft tortilla. It’s perfect for a quick lunch or light dinner and travels well.

Ingredients
2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound (450 g) total)
1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
1 teaspoon (5 ml) Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon (3 g) kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon (1.25 ml) black pepper
4 large flour tortillas (burrito size)
4 cups (about 200 g) chopped romaine lettuce
1/2 cup (50 g) grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup (120 ml) Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)
1/4 cup (about 15 g) croutons, crushed (optional, for crunch)
Heat It Up with Eleven Eleven Sauce: For an incredibly fresh and citrus flavor twist, mix 1–2 teaspoons of WesMarMi Verde into your Caesar dressing for a bright, herby complexity.
Heat Level: 0 out of 10 🔥
Eleven Eleven Sauce’s Wes Mar Mi is a bright, citrus-forward hot sauce made without vinegar, using organic lime and lemon juice for a clean, tangy snap and zero heat. It’s intensely flavorful yet refreshingly light, perfect for finishing tacos, marinating chicken or fish, or waking up bowls and salads. Add a bottle to your cart for a fresh, natural kick that makes everyday meals taste lively.
1. Prep and Cook the Chicken: Slice the chicken breasts horizontally to create 4 thinner cutlets. Rub them with olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Grill or cook the cutlets in a skillet over medium-high heat for 4–5 minutes per side until cooked through (165∘F or 74∘C). Let the chicken rest, then slice it into thin strips.
2. Prep the Salad: In a large bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, grated Parmesan cheese, and crushed croutons (if using).
3. Dress the Salad (Zesty Variation): Mix your Caesar dressing with 1–2 teaspoons of WesMarMi Verde sauce until well combined. Drizzle the dressing over the romaine mixture and toss until the lettuce is lightly coated.
4. Assemble the Wraps: Lay a tortilla flat. Place a line of the dressed salad down the center, leaving space on the sides. Top with a quarter of the sliced chicken. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then tightly roll it up from the bottom. Slice the wrap in half and serve.
Tips & Variations
Add a Crunch: Substitute the crushed croutons with crumbled bacon bits or toasted pumpkin seeds for added texture and flavor.
Make it Dairy-Free: Replace the Caesar dressing and Parmesan cheese with a vegan Caesar dressing alternative and nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor.
Prep Ahead: The chicken can be cooked and sliced up to 2 days in advance. Store the chicken and salad components separately, and only dress the lettuce just before assembling the wraps.
Other Users Suggest
Replacing Chicken Breast: "I swapped the chicken breast for rotisserie chicken, shredded, and used about 1 cup per wrap. It saved 10 minutes of cook time and was still super tender."
Replacing Tortillas: "Instead of flour tortillas, I used low-carb whole wheat wraps and slightly reduced the amount of dressing to lower the carb count."
Storage, Reheat & Freeze
Storage: Wraps are best eaten immediately to prevent the tortilla from getting soggy. Store undressed filling components (cooked chicken, lettuce, dressing) separately in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat: Reheating the chicken separately (if not eaten cold) in a microwave or skillet is recommended. Do not reheat the assembled wrap.
Freeze: Freezing is not recommended for assembled wraps or the salad components.
