A few quick notes
1. Mix dressing additions first
Stir Parmesan, garlic powder, pepper and lemon into the Caesar dressing before adding the salad ingredients to the bowl.
2. Toss until coated
Turn the romaine, chicken cubes and chopped croutons through the mixed dressing so it reaches through the filling.
3. Fill before rolling
Divide the prepared mixture among the wraps, then roll them around the chicken and salad filling for serving.
Get to know the ingredients

Grated Parmesan
The grated cheese is stirred into the dressing first, spreading through the mixture before the chicken and salad go in.

How to make it
0 of 3 steps completeMake room for Chicken Caesar Salad Wraps
Review ingredients in your pantry before anything is added. Meal plans use your household size; grocery-only additions use the servings selected above.
The last little job
Roll around the coated filling
Spoon the chicken Caesar mixture into the whole-grain wraps or tortillas and roll up for serving.
A little more help as you go
Lemon joins the dressing
Stir the lemon juice into the Caesar dressing with cheese and seasoning rather than squeezing it over the wrapped sandwiches.
Keep preparation in one bowl
Use the medium dressing bowl for tossing the lettuce, chicken and croutons, then fill the wraps from that combined mixture.
A few questions you might have
Can rotisserie chicken be used?
Yes. Rotisserie is included as a choice for the cooked, cubed chicken breast added to the lettuce and croutons.
Do the croutons go on after rolling?
They are tossed into the filling with chicken and romaine before the mixture is divided among the wraps.
Is there a grilling stage for the finished wraps?
The final step fills and rolls the wraps; no additional grilling or baking stage is included for them.
Does the lemon cook into a sauce?
It is stirred directly into the cold dressing mixture with Parmesan, garlic powder and pepper before the salad ingredients join.
Can I use tortillas?
The bread ingredient includes tortillas alongside whole-grain wraps for holding the prepared chicken Caesar filling.
