A Caesar salad is great, but a Caesar salad wrapped around crispy, golden chicken in a soft tortilla is better — especially on days when lunch needs to feel like an actual meal. You get the crunch from the panko chicken, the cool chopped romaine, and that garlicky, lemony dressing in every single bite.
These come together in about half an hour and they’re endlessly useful: quick lunches, light dinners, or sliced up and shared when people are over. The one rule? Eat them soon after rolling, while the chicken is still warm and crunchy against the cold lettuce.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- Warm, crispy chicken against cool, crunchy romaine — the contrast is the whole point
- All the flavors of a classic Caesar in an easy handheld wrap
- Ready in about 30 minutes, great for lunches and light dinners
- Simple breading station, no deep fryer needed
Tips & Variations
- Slice the fried chicken before wrapping so every bite has chicken in it, and the wrap rolls up neatly
- Warm the tortillas for a few seconds first — they’re much less likely to tear when you roll them
- Pat the chopped romaine dry before dressing it so the wraps don’t go soggy
Ingredients
Directions
Season the chicken slices with salt, pepper and garlic. Coat each piece in flour, then the beaten egg, then the breadcrumbs, pressing the crumbs on well. Fry in a pan until golden, crispy and cooked through.
In a big bowl, mix the chopped romaine with the Caesar dressing, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Parmesan and garlic until the lettuce is well coated.
Lay a generous pile of the lettuce mixture down the middle of a tortilla, top with crispy chicken slices and a little extra Parmesan.
Fold in the sides and roll the wrap up tightly. If you like, grill it in a dry pan for 1–2 minutes per side for extra crispiness.
Cut in half and serve immediately.
Conclusion
These wraps are best eaten fresh, while the chicken is still crispy. If you need to make them ahead, store the fried chicken, dressed lettuce and tortillas separately in the fridge for up to 2 days and assemble just before serving.
