This handheld meal turns the classic Caesar salad into a wrap by using sturdy romaine or butter lettuce leaves in place of a tortilla. Filled with sliced chicken, crispy bacon, and Parmesan cheese, it has a creamy and tangy flavor profile as a fresh low-carb meal for lunch or dinner.

About This Recipe

To assemble the wraps, the cooked chicken is tossed in a keto-friendly Caesar dressing to ensure every piece is coated before being placed into the center of the lettuce leaves. Using large, intact romaine or butter lettuce leaves is important to provide enough surface area to hold the fillings securely when rolled or folded. Garnishing with freshly ground black pepper and a squeeze of lemon just before serving adds a sharp acidity that balances the richness of the dressing and the cheese.

The flavor comes from the combination of savory grilled chicken and the smoky notes of crumbled bacon. Grated Parmesan provides a salty depth that complements the creamy dressing, while the lettuce leaves add a cooling crunch to each bite. Because the chicken is already cooked, the assembly focuses on the distribution of textures, ensuring that the soft protein and crispy toppings are evenly layered within the wrap.

These wraps work well for a light meal and when the chicken and bacon are prepared ahead of time. It’s easy to customize the filling by adding avocado slices for extra creaminess or swapping the chicken for grilled shrimp for a different protein base. They are best served immediately after assembly to maintain the crispness of the lettuce and the freshness of the cold ingredients.
