- Romaine Substitution: You can substitute the romaine for chopped lettuce, kale, or spinach.
How To Make A Chicken Caesar Wrap
Step 1: Lay one piece of lavash bread on a flat surface. Use a fork to mash the avocado onto the wrap, spreading it evenly. Season with salt, pepper, or Everything Bagel Seasoning, if desired.
Step 2: Layer the sliced tomato, shredded light cheddar cheese, fully cooked shredded chicken, and chopped romaine evenly over the avocado.
Step 3: Drizzle the Caesar dressing over the romaine and other toppings.
Step 4: Roll the lavash tightly.
Then, slice the wrap in half, and enjoy!
Serving Suggestions
This chicken Caesar wrap is perfect on its own or with your favorite sides for a quick and delicious meal. We love to serve this wrap with air fryer zucchini fries, roasted sweet potatoes, or crispy air fryer sweet potato wedges. For another option, pair it with a light soup, a fresh fruit bowl, or a side salad.
Expert Tips
- Don’t Over-Fill: Overstuffing the wrap makes it harder to roll and eat.
- Use Fresh Romaine: Crisp lettuce adds the best texture and crunch to this wrap!
- Mash Avocado: Mash the avocado well so it spreads evenly throughout the wrap.
- Add Dressing At The End: To keep the wrap from getting soggy, add the Caesar dressing just before serving or spread it on the romaine instead of directly on the lavash.
- Prep Ahead: Use a store-bought rotisserie chicken or make our slow cooker chicken recipe. Also, make our Caesar dressing or use a store-bought Caesar salad dressing of your choice. Store all of these ingredients separately to quickly assemble wraps throughout the week.
Storage Instructions
This chicken Caesar wrap is best eaten after making it to keep the lavash from getting soggy. However, this recipe is great for meal prep! You can store the ingredients separately in airtight containers. Then, assemble wraps just before eating for the best texture.
