Forget messy salads! Caesar salad wraps bring all the flavors you love in a neat, portable package. Customize your own: add protein for a hearty lunch, keep it vegetarian for a light bite, or pile on your favorite toppings. The choice is yours. Skip the fork, grab a tortilla, and get ready for a satisfying Caesar salad experience, tailored just for you.
I was never a fan of making different meals for my kids, but if customizing means leaving out one ingredient I do it. This Caesar Salad Wrap post gives you some great ideas when you have people over with different tastes.
There are options for everyone - picky eaters and special diet restrictions included! If you need a picky eater friendly salad, try this Mandarin Orange Salad with 3 Ingredients. My kids loved it when they were in their picky phase.
Looking for other sandwich type ideas? My favorite, especially in the summer, is this simple tomato sandwich. If we want a big hearty sandwich, this Bacon, Egg, Lettuce and Tomato sandwich fills hungry stomachs! So does this Meaty Cheesesteak Sandwich.

Why I love these Wrap options
- These wraps are quick and easy to make. When kids have activities with just a few minutes to eat, these are perfect!
- I love these as a quick and easy to-go lunch for myself. When I'm running errands, I'd rather have a Caesar wrap packed than go through a drive through.
- This is so customizable! Change the type of cheese, chicken or no chicken, a different protein like eggs or just cheese, it works! I made this when picky eaters came over.
- This is a healthy and inexpensive meal where you have control of the ingredients. Ideas like these are to give people easy and quick options to not always choose a fast food drive through meal (although they are a great occasional treat).
Ingredients
These are some suggestions but everything is customizable to what you have available to you and what your personal preferances are.
- Tortilla wraps - You can usually find corn, wheat, whole wheat and also some low carb wraps in most grocery stores.
- Lettuce - This is for flavor, texture and to basically be the Caesar salad. I prefer romain but if you have iceburg handy or something different from the store or your garden, it works!
- Dressing - You "should" be using Caesar salad dressing. When my kiddos where younger, they didn't like Caesar. I made theirs with ranch dressing. It was easy to accomodate and everyone happily ate their wrap.
- Protein Options - My normal is using some kind of chicken (deli, rotissorie, chicken strips) with shredded cheese (cheddar, mozarella, parmesan). Sometimes I change it up and just cut up a hard boiled egg for the protein. Other times it's just cheese. It's nice having choices!
Below are a few different wraps that I still often make. Enjoy these suggestions!
Vegetarian Caesar Salad wraps
This can be so simple but it still has flavor and convenience. Mix your Caesar Salad dressing with romaine lettuce. Place onto your tortilla (or soft taco) wrap. Add a little cheese. If you want traditional caesar, use shredded parmesan cheese. Or, if you like (or just have) cheddar cheese, use that!
Caesar Salad Wrap with hardboiled Egg
Worry about protein with vegetarian wraps? Bump it up by slicing a soft boiled egg! I always have hard-boiled eggs in my fridge (if it's in a bowl, in my fridge, it's hard-boiled). My kids have learned that the hard way : ).
Wrap and you are ready to go. Yes, it's a to-go wrap if you need it! I purposely don't put too much dressing on the romaine so the wrap isn't 'drippy'.
Chicken Finger wraps
These chicken caesar salad wraps are easy, customizable and popular with everyone in the family - including the kids! If you have chicken strips (fingers) in your freezer, cook them! Or, If you are in a hurry, pick some up from the store! Most grocery stores sell these hot and ready to go! This option is popular with kids and teens! Who doesn't love chicken fingers!! But, for you, this is super easy and quick to assemble.
You've got a salad on the go with your favorite chicken fingers. Does it get easier?? Or, more delicious?
Rotisserie Chicken Salad Wraps
If you can't leave Costco without their $4.99 rotisserie chicken, here is a way to use up that chicken. I can't seem to leave that store without one! Anyone else have that problem??
Deli Chicken works too!
Just ask the person slicing to give you thick slices.
Chicken Salad Caesar Salad wraps
Hey, two salads in one wrap! You've got your chicken salad and your Caesar salad all in one! I actually really like this but if you have someone who isn't a mayo fan, this may be a little too mayo-y.
My chicken salad is made with leftover roasted chicken, some cut up grapes and celery (if I have it handy). Then just enough mayonnaise to lightly coat. The grapes and celery give the chicken salad just the extra flavor and texture it needs.
I think I may need to have one of these for lunch now....
That's a wrap! Sorry, couldn't help myself!
Bonus Ceasar Salad Wrap Ideas!
I can't stop having ideas pop in my head.
Egg Salad Caesar Salad Wrap.
Another two salad on a wrap idea! Instead of hard-boiled eggs, why not make a quick egg salad and make your Caesar Salad Wrap with that? Yum! Maybe use some Caesar salad dressing to make your egg salad? Just a thought!
Cheese Curd Caesar Salad Wrap.
Are you in the land of cheese curds (Wisconsin)? You can easily offer cheese curds as an option to shredded cheese for your vegetarian wrap.
Ranch Caesar Salad Wrap
Is it still a Caesar Salad Wrap if you use ranch dressing? There were times where the Caesar Salad dressing did not appeal to my kids. I just used Ranch. Easy solution!
Storage
These wraps can be refrigerated for a couple of days. If possible, just keep the ingredients seperate. Too much dressing on the lettuce may cause the wrap to get soggy.

These look really good. I have been making a lot of low carb wraps with rotisserie chicken lately but I never thought about using Ceasar salad as part of the wrap. I love Ceasar salad. So glad I found this recipe as I'm getting really tired of plain chicken and lettuce. Thanks!
