The Origins of the Chicken Bacon Caesar Wrap

The Caesar Salad was first created in the 1920s by Italian chef Caesar Cardini at his restaurant in Mexico. Its simple yet bold flavors quickly gained popularity, making it a staple on menus worldwide. Years later, as wraps became a culinary trend, someone had the brilliant idea to roll this classic salad into a tortilla — giving birth to the Chicken Caesar Wrap. 

Over time, variations like the Chicken Bacon Caesar Wrap emerged, adding even more layers of flavor. This transformation turned a traditional salad into a convenient, handheld meal perfect for on-the-go dining. Loved for its balance of freshness, nutrients, and creamy dressing, the Caesar Wrap has cemented itself as a favorite among food lovers. Whether enjoyed as a quick lunch or a satisfying dinner, this wrap continues to prove that great flavors never go out of style — only evolve into new and delicious forms.

Essential Ingredients That Define a Perfect Chicken Bacon Caesar Wrap

What is the secret to a mouth-watering Chicken Bacon Caesar wrap that makes you want to return for more? High-quality, fresh ingredients, as simple as that. Each component of Forage Kitchen’s Chicken Bacon Caesar wrap plays an equally important role in creating the delicious bite that keeps you coming back to us.

Tender and Juicy Chicken

Roasted chicken is the star of this wrap — the savory flavors of the juicy, tender chicken pair perfectly with the dressing. If you are preparing this at home, consider marinating the chicken at least half an hour before you roast to keep it moist and tender. For the best taste, visit your local farm. They will be able to help you with finding some fresh chickens that are free from preservatives and antibiotics. 

Crispy Bacon and Romaine Lettuce

The bacon should be crunchy and salty, a contrasting touch that elevates the wrap. Cook it till perfectly crisp before adding it to your wrap. Romaine lettuce adds crunch and freshness to every bite. To keep the lettuce crisp, wash, rinse, and dry it thoroughly before using it.

Creamy and Savory Caesar Dressing

Caesar dressing is the co-star, alongside the chicken. This ties the whole wrap together. The authentic Caesar dressing has extra virgin olive oil, egg yolks, anchovies, dijon mustard, garlic, lemon juice, grated parmesan, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce, all whisked together to get that creamy dressing. If this umami flavor is not your favorite, opt for a variety that has a milder taste.

Parmesan Cheese and Crunchy Additions

Parmesan cheese adds a nutty and salty touch, while croutons are a great choice if you want to make it interesting by texture and adding that extra crunch. At Forage Kitchen, we use crumbled sourdough croutons, baked with everything-bagel seasoning. 

How to Make the Perfect Chicken Bacon Caesar Wrap at Home

Wraps are one of the most simple dishes to prepare at home. They are also super easy to meal-prep in advance. If you are a beginner, get the techniques down, and you can later start getting creative with the flavors to tweak it to your liking. Here is a step-by-step guide on how you can prepare your very own Chicken Bacon Caesar Wrap:

• Prepare your Chicken: Marinate the chicken with your favorite spices for a taste that suits your palate. Roast your chicken and shred or slice into stripes or cubes.

• Cook the Bacon: Fry your bacon strips until crispy and set them aside. Ensure you are not making them extra crispy unless that is how you like it, then go for it.

• Wash and Dry the Lettuce: Get some fresh lettuce from the nearest farmers market for the best crunch and taste. Set them aside after washing and drying.

• Lay Out your Tortilla: Choose a large, flour or whole grain tortilla. The bigger the tortilla, the easier it is to wrap.

• Assemble: Spread out the tortilla, and start by layering the lettuce. Then add the chicken, bacon, dressings, croutons, and eggs. Spread the ingredients evenly to avoid a bite that is either chicken-heavy or lettuce-heavy.

• Wrap it up: Fold the sides first, then roll tightly to secure your ingredients.

• Sear the Wrap: This step is optional, but if you like to have your wraps a little crispy, you can sear it to get some crisp edges..
