Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this wrap in advance?
Absolutely! In fact, I highly recommend prepping the components ahead of time. You can grill the chicken, make the dressing, and chop the lettuce a day or two in advance. Then, when you’re ready to assemble, it’ll be a breeze.
Can I use a different type of wrap?
Definitely! While I love the classic tortilla wrap, you can absolutely use any type of bread or wrap you prefer. Whole wheat, spinach, or even lettuce leaves would all work beautifully.
What’s the best way to keep the wrap from getting soggy?
To prevent sogginess, I recommend spreading the Caesar dressing on the wrap first, then adding the other ingredients. This creates a barrier that keeps the bread or tortilla nice and crisp. And be sure not to overstuff your wrap – a little goes a long way!
Can I make this recipe vegetarian?
Absolutely! Simply swap out the chicken for grilled or roasted veggies like zucchini, bell peppers, or mushrooms. You can even try tofu or chickpeas for a protein-packed twist.
How long will this wrap stay fresh?
When stored properly in the fridge, this Chicken Caesar Wrap will stay fresh for up to 3-4 days. Just be sure to wrap it tightly in plastic or foil to prevent the bread from drying out.
