I have a new favorite go-to meal that happens to be perfect for summer: Chicken Caesar Wraps!
They’re easy, the ingredient list is short and compiled of items I normally have on hand, and I’m always surprised at just how tasty they are!
The other fun thing is you can make them super, duper easy or gourmet them up a bit, using more homemade ingredients. No matter how you make them, they are delicious!
I wasn’t really planning to do a post about chicken caesar wraps, but when we were eating them for dinner last night, Anna said, “Mom, you should take a picture of these for your blog!” She’s always looking out for the blog!
Summer Go-To Meal: Chicken Caesar Wraps
Author: Jane Maynard
Recipe type: Main Dish, Poultry
Ingredients
- Flour tortillas or other wrap that you like (I prefer uncooked tortillas that you cook on the stove, they are delicious and are nice and flexible, which is perfect for a wrap)
- Cooked chicken breast (You could buy pre-cooked chicken or a rotisserie chicken to make it super simple. I like to grill boneless, skinless chicken breasts on my grill pan salt and pepper the chicken breasts, cook over medium heat until temperature reaches 160 degrees)
- Romaine lettuce, chopped
- Fresh Parmesan cheese, shaved or shredded
- Croutons (You can make your own, but in this case I think the crunchy store-bought kind work nicely because they are so super crunchy, which gives good texture to the wrap.)
- Caesar dressing (again, you can make your own, but I always have a bottle of Girard’s Caesar dressing in the fridge, so that’s what I use!)
Instructions
- Lay out your tortilla/wrap, pile on all the other ingredients, fold like a burrito and eat!
- I like to spread some dressing on the tortilla before piling on the ingredients and then topping everything with more dressing before wrapping it all up!
Hi! My name is Jane Wallin and you've landed yourself on my blog, This Week for Dinner™. Every Sunday I share a weekly menu...and count on you to share yours! You'll also find other deliciousness that I hope you'll enjoy!
These sound great and I am always forget how many other things can be wrapped in up a tortilla besides the normal taco/burrito stuff.
chicken casear salad has been my go-to for a few weeks as well, but I don’t wrap it. I should!! thanks! I make my own croutons, because I make my own bread, so all the ends or stale bits get cubed, lightly oiled, herbed, but then I toast mine in the oven – so they DO get super crunchy like the store bought ones. whatever we don’t use up in a week or so gets smashed up into breadcrumbs for another use.
this was my go-to dinner at the fast food place on campus in college. my friend manned the chicken caesar salad/wrap booth….love these and i haven’t had them in years!!
One of our favorite summer foods! You should make the homemade version sometime just for kicks 🙂
BTW, are those the uncooked Costco tortillas? To die for. We always have them in our fridge to use for everything!
these particular tortillas are a local brand in san diego (canasta) and they are my most favorite tortillas EVER…but they are just like the ones at Costco (which are also delicious!)
This is a go to meal for me as well, however now that you point out the simplicity, I am embarrassedto say, I never make them at home. It’s what I always order at our country club for dinner because it’s relatively healthy! So good, now I am going to have to make them at home sometimes, because wow so simple! I ate this tonight, in my defense everything tases better when I don’t have to cook it…
EVERYTHING tastes better when you don’t have to cook it! 😉
