How to Make Chicken Caesar Wrap
Step 1 | Make Caesar Dressing
Whisk together lemon juice, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, anchovies, and garlic in a bowl. Gradually whisk in olive oil until combined. Stir in Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper to taste.
Step 2 | Mix the Filling
In a large bowl, toss together chopped chicken, lettuce, cherry tomatoes, Parmesan cheese, and croutons with the Caesar dressing until well combined.
Chopped Chicken
You can use a store-bought rotisserie chicken or make your own.
To Make Chicken: Season about 2 pounds of chicken breast with salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder, then coat it lightly with oil. Bake at 400°F for 25-35 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let it rest before chopping.
Step 3 | Assemble
Lay a tortilla flat and place a generous spoonful of the mixture along one edge. Roll up tightly, burrito-style, tucking in the sides as you go. Secure with toothpicks if needed.

For best flavor, refrigerate for 20 minutes before serving (optional). Serve with extra dressing on the side for dipping.
