These Crispy Chicken Caesar Wraps are the kind of lunch that makes you look forward to midday. They’ve got all the best bits of a classic Caesar salad—crunchy lettuce, creamy dressing, savoury Parmesan, and a good hit of black pepper—but wrapped up with juicy, golden chicken for a more filling, hands-on version.
Whether you’re using freshly cooked crispy chicken or leftovers from the night before, these wraps come together fast and never disappoint. They’re ideal for packed lunches, casual dinners, or even as part of a weekend spread when you want something crowd-pleasing but low effort. Serve them as they are, or add extras like chopped bacon, tomatoes or avocado if you fancy.

Crispy Chicken Caesar Wrap
Ingredients
- 2 soft tortilla wraps
- 2 crispy chicken fillets homemade, frozen, or from leftovers
- 2 large handfuls romaine or cos lettuce shredded
- 2 –3 tbsp Caesar dressing
- Freshly grated Parmesan or shavings
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Optional: lemon wedges crispy bacon bits
Instructions
- Cook your crispy chicken fillets according to the packet or your preferred method, until golden and piping hot. Let rest for a couple of minutes, then slice into strips. A sharp knife like this makes it easy to slice the chicken cleanly and halve the wrap without squashing it.
- Warm the tortilla wraps in a dry pan or microwave for 10–15 seconds until soft and pliable. A tortilla warmer like this keeps wraps soft and warm without drying them out.
- Lay the wraps out flat. Add a generous layer of shredded lettuce, a few chicken strips, a drizzle of Caesar dressing, and a scattering of Parmesan.
- Season with a little black pepper and any extras you fancy (like bacon or a squeeze of lemon).
- Roll up tightly, tucking in the ends as you go, then slice in half on the diagonal. Serve immediately. Wrap in parchment like this if you’re taking these to work or on the go—, it keeps everything snug and tidy.
Top Tips for this Crispy Chicken Caesar Wrap
Warm your wraps first: A quick 10 seconds in the microwave or pan makes them easier to roll and less likely to tear.
Use really crispy chicken: Whether oven-baked or air-fried, the crunch makes all the difference, reheat leftovers in the oven for best texture.
Shred the lettuce finely: It helps everything sit nicely in the wrap and gives a better bite.
Wrap in foil or parchment: If you’re taking these on the go, wrapping them snugly helps hold their shape and makes them easier to eat.
