Chicken caesar wraps are the perfect answer when you crave something hearty and familiar while also fresh and healthy.

Plus, you get the delicious flavors of a chicken caesar salad with the portability and convenience of a wrap.

Wraps have their roots in various cuisines around the world, similar to a burrito, gyro or shawarma, which all are takes on the concept of wrapping tasty fillings in a portable, edible package. Chicken caesar wraps take this idea and infuse it with the familiar flavors of a favorite salad with the portability and convenience of a wrap.

That makes these perfect for lunchboxes, picnics or maybe even a quick, on-the-go snack when there’s no time to stop for long between errands.

What to serve with chicken caesar wraps

Like their salad counterpart, chicken caesar wraps are versatile and pair well with many different dishes, desserts and beverages to make a meal. Here are a few ideas:

Make your wraps the entrée and complement them with substantial side dishes. A light and tangy coleslaw provides a refreshing balance to the richness of the wraps. My Italian bowtie pasta salad is simply delicious alongside these wraps, too.

If you’d like a more filling meal by serving these chicken caesar wraps as a duo with soup, consider a comforting bowl of tomato soup or a hearty minestrone. Or try a small cup of this creamy cheesy potato soup.

A dessert I love to serve with chicken caesar wraps is this summer fruit salad with mint and honey. For an extra indulgent sweet treat, try these strawberry cheesecake cookies.

As for beverages, go with freshly squeezed lemonade for a tangy counterpoint or a fruity sparkling water for a crisp refresher.

Are Caesar salad wraps good for you?

Chicken caesar wraps can be a nutritious meal option, especially when made with grilled chicken and plenty of fresh vegetables. Be mindful of the caesar dressing’s calorie and fat content, and consider using a lighter dressing or using it sparingly for a healthier wrap.

Can you make chicken caesar wraps ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the wraps a few hours in advance, but it’s best to store the filling and tortillas separately to prevent the wraps from becoming soggy. Assemble the wraps just before serving for the best texture and flavor.

How do you reheat a chicken caesar wrap?

To reheat a wrap, remove the lettuce and other cold ingredients to prevent wilting. Then, place the wrap in a toaster oven or oven preheated to 350°F (175°C) for 5-10 minutes until warm. Add the cold ingredients back in and enjoy!

Can you suggest things to add to chicken caesar wraps?

Wrap recipes are meant for experimentation. You can customize your wraps with additional ingredients like bacon for a savory crunch, sliced avocado for a creamy texture, red onion for a bit of bite, or roasted red peppers for a smoky flavor.
