The Chicken Caesar Wrap is one of the latest food trends taking over TikTok. But I have been enjoying these wraps for almost two decades. I used to have them for lunch breaks at my first job at Islands of Adventure in Orlando. I loved that I could get the crunch of lettuce wrapped in the palm of my hand with the perfect amount of Caesar dressing in every bite.

I believe the best time to enjoy this wrap is the summertime, so I thought this would be the best time to share the recipe with you all. I am also including the recipe for my homemade Caesar dressing. It’s the best Caesar dressing I’ve ever had, includes those versions found at upscale restaurants. It’s so vibrant and flavorful. You won’t believe that you made something so wonderful!

Without further ado, here is my Chicken Caesar Wrap!

Tips & Tricks

  1. Mince the anchovies. For the best flavor and texture, make sure you mince the anchoives into very small pieces and then smash them into a paste.
  2. Make the dressing the day before. The dressing’s flavor builds the longer the ingredients sit together. This means that is will taste better after 24 hours than it does immediately after making it. As such, I like making the dressing the day before I plan to use it.
  3. Toss the chicken in the dressing first. To give the chicken tons of Caesar flavor, I like to toss the diced chicken in it first, and then add the rest of the ingredients.
  4. Don’t overfill the wrap. If you overfill the wrap, you will not be able to roll it up, and may even rip the wrap attempting to.
