I still remember the first time I tried the Erewhon Chicken Caesar Wrap—it was love at first bite! That perfect crunch of romaine, the tangy Caesar dressing, and the juicy chicken all wrapped up in a soft tortilla—it’s become my go-to lunch when I need something fresh, fast, and packed with flavor. I’ve made this wrap at home countless times now, tweaking it just right to match that iconic Erewhon taste. Whether you’re craving a quick work-from-home lunch or a picnic-perfect meal, this wrap delivers every time. Trust me, once you try this version, you’ll never go back to boring sandwiches again!
Why You’ll Love This Erewhon Chicken Caesar Wrap
Oh, where do I even start? This wrap is my lunchtime superhero for so many reasons:
- Crazy quick – I can throw it together in 10 minutes flat when hunger strikes
- No cooking needed – Just assemble and go (perfect for my lazy days)
- Naturally gluten-free when you use the right tortilla – even my gluten-sensitive friends can enjoy it
- Totally customizable – More dressing? Extra crunch? Avocado? Make it your own!
It’s the perfect mix of fresh, crunchy, creamy, and satisfying – everything a wrap should be!
Ingredients for Erewhon Chicken Caesar Wrap
Here’s everything you’ll need to recreate that perfect Erewhon magic at home. I’m picky about my ingredients – trust me, these little details make all the difference!
- 1 large tortilla wrap (I always use the extra-large flour kind, but gluten-free works great too)
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded (leftover rotisserie chicken is my secret weapon!)
- 1/2 cup romaine lettuce, chopped into bite-sized pieces (fresh crispness is key)
- 2 tbsp Caesar dressing (I’m loyal to the classic creamy kind, but use your favorite)
- 1 tbsp Parmesan cheese, freshly grated if you’re feeling fancy
- 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (those little bursts of juiciness make the wrap!)
- 1 tbsp croutons (for that essential crunch factor)
See? Nothing crazy – just simple, fresh ingredients that come together like magic. Now let’s make this wrap happen!
How to Make Erewhon Chicken Caesar Wrap
Okay, let’s get wrapping! I’ve made this so many times I could do it in my sleep, but I’ll walk you through each step to make sure your wrap comes out perfect. The secret? Even dressing distribution and a tight roll—nobody wants a sad, falling-apart wrap!
Step 1: Assemble the Base
First, lay your tortilla flat on a clean cutting board or counter. I like to give it a quick 10-second microwave zap if it’s been in the fridge—just to make it more pliable. Now, take your Caesar dressing and spread it evenly over the tortilla, leaving about an inch bare around the edges. This creates a delicious “glue” that holds everything together!
Step 2: Layer Fillings
Here’s where the magic happens! Layer your ingredients in this order for the perfect bite every time:
- Start with the shredded chicken—spread it evenly over the dressing
- Next comes the crisp romaine (press it down slightly so it stays put)
- Scatter those gorgeous tomato halves over the lettuce
- Finish with a sprinkle of Parmesan and croutons (the croutons go last so they stay crunchy!)
Step 3: Roll and Serve
Time for the wrap origami! Fold in the sides about an inch, then starting from the bottom, roll up tightly while tucking in the filling as you go. Give it a gentle squeeze to hold its shape. Slice diagonally—because everything tastes better when it’s cut fancy—and serve immediately while the tortilla’s still soft and the lettuce is crisp. Voilà! Erewhon magic in your own kitchen!
Tips for the Best Erewhon Chicken Caesar Wrap
After making this wrap about a hundred times (no exaggeration!), I’ve picked up some foolproof tricks:
- Squeeze excess water from your washed lettuce—nobody wants a soggy wrap!
- Toast your croutons lightly for extra crunch that lasts
- Slip in avocado slices when you want that creamy upgrade (my personal favorite twist)
- Wrap tightly in parchment if packing for lunch—keeps everything snug and fresh
- Taste your dressing first—some brands need extra lemon or pepper to really sing
Little touches make all the difference between good and “Oh-my-gosh-I-need-another-one” great!
Variations for Erewhon Chicken Caesar Wrap
One of my favorite things about this wrap is how easily you can mix it up! When I’m feeling adventurous, I’ll swap the chicken for grilled shrimp (so good with the Caesar flavors) or even chickpeas for a vegetarian version. My vegan friends love it with dairy-free dressing and nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan. And on super busy days? I just grab whatever protein I have—leftover steak, salmon, even tofu works in a pinch. The possibilities are endless!
Serving Suggestions for Erewhon Chicken Caesar Wrap
This wrap shines all on its own, but if you’re feeling fancy, try it with some crispy sweet potato fries (my weakness!) or a simple green salad. For picnics, I love adding fresh fruit—grapes or apple slices pair perfectly with those Caesar flavors. And don’t forget the iced tea or lemonade for the ultimate lunch combo!
Storage and Reheating
Here’s the deal – this wrap is best eaten fresh! If you must store it, wrap tightly in foil (no plastic wrap – it’ll make the tortilla soggy). I never reheat mine – cold Caesar wrap is actually delicious, and warming it up turns the lettuce sad and wilted. Eat within 24 hours for maximum crunch!

FAQs About Erewhon Chicken Caesar Wrap
Over the years, I’ve gotten so many questions about this wrap – here are the ones I hear most often!
Can I make this wrap ahead of time?
You can, but I recommend waiting to assemble until you’re ready to eat. If you must prep ahead, keep all the components separate and store the lettuce in a damp paper towel to keep it crisp. Assemble right before serving for that perfect crunch.
Is this wrap keto-friendly?
Almost! Just swap the tortilla for a low-carb version and check your dressing’s sugar content. With those changes, you’ve got yourself a killer keto lunch. My husband does this all the time!
What’s the best way to keep it from getting soggy?
Two words: moisture control! Always spin your lettuce dry, don’t overdress (you can always add more), and keep juicy tomatoes away from the tortilla by layering lettuce between them. My grandma’s trick? A light schmear of cream cheese under the dressing as a moisture barrier!
Can I use a different protein?
Absolutely! I’ve made amazing versions with everything from turkey to tuna. Grilled shrimp is my special occasion swap – the charred flavor takes it next level. Just keep the total amount about the same as the chicken called for.
