We all know the Caesar salad is a classic for a reason. But sometimes, a salad just isn’t enough to get you through a busy afternoon. You need something substantial. Something with a kick. That is where this mashup comes in. We take the garlicky, parmesan-packed goodness of a Caesar and collide it with the fiery heat of Buffalo Chicken.

The result is a wrap that hits every single pleasure point: crisp romaine, creamy dressing, savory cheese, and spicy chicken, all held together in a soft tortilla. It is basically a portable salad that tastes like a cheat meal but is packed with enough protein to power a workout.

Why You Will Crave This Mashup

It fixes the biggest problem with salad: the lack of excitement.

Flavor Explosion: The tangy Caesar dressing cools down the spicy buffalo sauce perfectly. It is a more sophisticated cousin to the ranch-buffalo combo.
Texture Heaven: We use crunchy croutons inside the wrap. Yes, you read that right. It adds a satisfying crunch to every bite.
High Protein: Between the chicken, the greek yogurt-based dressing (if you choose), and the parmesan, this is a macro-friendly powerhouse.
Fast Assembly: If you have cooked chicken, this comes together in under 5 minutes.

Ingredients

2 large tortillas (spinach or flour)

1.5 cups cooked chicken breast, sliced or cubed

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, toss the cooked chicken with the buffalo sauce until fully coated.

2. In a separate medium bowl, combine the chopped romaine, Caesar dressing, parmesan cheese, and crushed croutons. Toss until the salad is evenly dressed.

3. Lay out the tortillas.

4. Divide the Caesar salad mixture between the two tortillas, placing it in the center.

5. Top the salad with the buffalo chicken pieces.

6. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly from the bottom up.

7. Slice in half and serve immediately.

Notes

**Soggy Prevention:** Eat these immediately for the best crunch from the croutons. If prepping for later, pack the dressing and buffalo sauce separately.

**Lighter Option:** Use a Greek yogurt-based Caesar dressing to cut calories and boost protein.

Ingredients

Cooked Chicken: Sliced grilled breast, rotisserie chicken, or even crispy tenders if you are feeling indulgent.
Buffalo Sauce: Toss your chicken in a good amount of it. My homemade buffalo sauce works wonders here.
Romaine Lettuce: Fresh, crisp, and chopped. It holds up to the dressing better than spinach.
Caesar Dressing: Use your favorite bottle or a high-protein yogurt-based version.
Parmesan Cheese: Shaved or grated. The nuttiness pairs beautifully with the hot sauce.
Croutons: Crush them slightly so they don’t poke through the tortilla.
Tortillas: Large spinach or flour wraps.

How to Make It (Wrap Battle)

Prep the Chicken. Slice your cooked chicken and toss it vigorously in the buffalo sauce until every piece is coated and orange.
Toss the Salad. In a bowl, mix the chopped romaine, parmesan cheese, crushed croutons, and Caesar dressing. Toss until the leaves are well-coated.
Layer. Lay out your large tortilla. Place a generous mound of the Caesar salad mixture in the center.
Top. Layer the spicy buffalo chicken strips right on top of the salad.
Roll. Fold the sides in and roll tightly. Slice in half and admire the beautiful layers.

Variations & Serving Ideas

This wrap is super versatile.

Dip Mashup: Spread a thin layer of Cottage Cheese Buffalo Chicken Dip on the tortilla before adding the salad for a massive protein boost.
Vegetarian: Swap the chicken for roasted chickpeas tossed in buffalo sauce or use crispy Buffalo Cauliflower Air Fryer bites.
Low Carb: Ditch the wrap and just eat it as a massive salad bowl.
Warm it Up: Use warm crispy chicken tenders for a hot/cold contrast that tastes like a restaurant meal.
Leftovers: Use any extra buffalo chicken to make a quick Buffalo Chicken Quesadilla for dinner.
Party Mode: Slice the wraps into small rounds for Caesar-style Buffalo Chicken Pinwheels.

Final Thoughts
