Think of a wrap as a blank canvas. A soft tortilla just waiting to be filled with something wonderful. Over the decades, I’ve learned that the secret isn’t in complicated techniques; it’s in balancing flavors and textures. A little crunch here, a creamy sauce there, and of course, perfectly seasoned chicken. I’ve gathered these ten recipes to give you a whole week’s worth of easy lunches or quick dinners, plus a few extra for fun. They’re all straightforward, use common ingredients, and most importantly, they taste fantastic. Let’s take a quick look at what we’re making.

A Quick Glance at Your 10 New Favorite Wraps

Here’s a simple table to show you the flavor profile of each wrap we’ll be creating together. It’s like a map for our culinary journey.

Now, let’s roll up our sleeves and get into the heart of each recipe. I’ll walk you through each one just like I would if you were here in my kitchen with me.

1. Grilled Chicken Caesar Wrap

This is where it all started for me. I remember trying to recreate that Caesar salad taste in a portable form for my son’s soccer picnics decades ago. The combination of savory chicken, crisp romaine, and that iconic creamy dressing wrapped up tight is a true winner. It feels fancy but takes minutes to make.

Complete Ingredients

• 2 large flour tortillas (burrito-size)
• 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast, grilled and sliced
• 2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
• 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup Caesar dressing (I like a creamy one)
• 1/4 cup croutons, slightly crushed
• Freshly ground black pepper

How to Make It

• Start by laying your two tortillas flat on a clean surface.
• Spread about a tablespoon of Caesar dressing down the center of each tortilla.
• Divide the sliced grilled chicken evenly between the two wraps, placing it on the dressing.
• Top the chicken with the chopped romaine lettuce.
• Sprinkle the shredded Parmesan cheese over the lettuce.
• Scatter the crushed croutons for that essential crunch.
• Drizzle a little more dressing over the top if you like, and add a crack of black pepper.
• To fold, bring the bottom edge of the tortilla up over the filling. Then, fold in the left and right sides. Roll tightly from the bottom to the top, tucking in the sides as you go. Slice in half on a diagonal—it just looks nicer that way.

2. BBQ Chicken Ranch Wrap

The sweet, smoky taste of barbecue sauce meeting the cool, herby flavor of ranch is a match made in heaven. I often use leftover grilled chicken for this, shredding it and letting it soak up that BBQ sauce. It’s messy in the best possible way.

Complete Ingredients

• 2 large flour tortillas
• 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
• 1/3 cup barbecue sauce
• 1/4 cup ranch dressing
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup canned corn kernels, drained
• 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

How to Make It

• In a small bowl, mix the shredded chicken with the barbecue sauce until the chicken is well coated.
• Spread a layer of ranch dressing in the center of each tortilla.
• Spoon the BBQ chicken mixture onto the ranch dressing.
• Top with shredded cheddar cheese, corn kernels, and slices of red onion.
• Fold the wrap using the method above: bottom up, sides in, and roll tightly. The sauces hold everything together beautifully.

3. Buffalo Chicken Wrap

This is my go-to when I want something with spirit. The key is balancing the hot sauce’s fire with the cooling crunch of fresh veggies and creamy dressing. I always have the ingredients for this one on hand for a quick, flavorful dinner.

Complete Ingredients

• 2 large tortillas
• 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded or diced
• 1/4 cup buffalo hot sauce
• 1/4 cup blue cheese or ranch dressing
• 1/2 cup iceberg lettuce, shredded (it’s extra crunchy)
• 1/2 cup carrots, shredded or julienned
• 1/2 cup celery, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese (optional, but wonderful)

How to Make It

• Toss the cooked chicken in the buffalo hot sauce in a bowl.
• Spread your chosen dressing (blue cheese or ranch) down the center of each tortilla.
• Pile the buffalo chicken onto the dressing.
• Layer on the shredded lettuce, carrots, and celery for that crucial fresh crunch.
• If you’re using blue cheese crumbles, sprinkle them on top now.
• Wrap it up tight. I recommend using foil or parchment paper to hold this one, as it can get wonderfully juicy.

4. Honey Mustard Chicken Wrap

Sweet, tangy, and impossible to resist—this wrap is a surefire hit with kids and adults alike. The combination of honey and mustard with tender chicken feels both comforting and fresh. I’ve used this same sauce on salads for years.

Complete Ingredients

• 2 large tortillas
• 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast, cooked and sliced
• 1/4 cup honey mustard dressing
• 2 slices Swiss cheese
• 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
• 1/4 cup red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup cucumber, thinly sliced

How to Make It

• Lay out the tortillas and brush each with a generous amount of honey mustard dressing.
• Place a slice of Swiss cheese on each tortilla.
• Arrange the slices of cooked chicken breast over the cheese.
• Top with a handful of fresh spinach leaves, then the slices of red bell pepper and cucumber.
• Drizzle just a little more dressing over the vegetables before you roll it up. The Swiss cheese melts slightly from the warm chicken, making it extra delicious.

5. Chicken Shawarma Wrap

This recipe brings back memories of my travels. The blend of spices—cumin, paprika, a touch of cinnamon—transforms simple chicken into something magical. The garlic sauce is non-negotiable; it ties the whole wrap together.

Complete Ingredients

• 2 large tortillas or pita breads
• 1 boneless, skinless chicken thigh or breast, thinly sliced
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp each: paprika, cumin, garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp each: turmeric, cinnamon
• Pinch of salt and pepper
• 1/4 cup plain yogurt or tahini sauce
• 1/2 cup tomatoes, diced
• 1/2 cup cucumber, diced
• 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

How to Make It

• Mix the spices (paprika, cumin, garlic powder, turmeric, cinnamon, salt, pepper) with olive oil in a bowl. Add the chicken slices and coat them evenly. Let it sit for 10 minutes, then cook in a skillet until done.
• Warm your tortillas or pitas slightly so they are pliable.
• Spread a layer of yogurt or tahini sauce down the center.
• Place the spiced chicken on the sauce.
• Top generously with diced tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onion.
• Wrap tightly. The flavors will make you feel like you’re at a street market somewhere wonderful.

6. Teriyaki Chicken Wrap

When you want big flavor with minimal effort, teriyaki is the answer. The sauce’s savory-sweet glaze on the chicken pairs so well with crisp vegetables. I sometimes add a sprinkle of sesame seeds for a final touch.

Complete Ingredients

• 2 large tortillas
• 1 chicken breast, cut into small pieces
• 1/3 cup teriyaki sauce
• 1 tsp grated fresh ginger (or 1/2 tsp ground ginger)
• 1 cup coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
• 2 tbsp mayonnaise
• 1 tsp rice vinegar
• 1 green onion, sliced

How to Make It

• Cook the chicken pieces in a pan until almost done. Add the teriyaki sauce and ginger, and simmer until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken.
• In a small bowl, mix the coleslaw mix with mayonnaise and rice vinegar.
• Place the teriyaki chicken in the center of each tortilla.
• Top with the creamy coleslaw mixture and sliced green onions.
• Roll it up. The slaw adds a fantastic creamy crunch that balances the rich teriyaki.

7. Lemon Garlic Chicken Wrap

This wrap tastes clean and bright. The lemon and garlic keep the chicken light and flavorful, and the spinach and feta add a Mediterranean touch. It’s my favorite wrap for a warm afternoon.

Complete Ingredients

• 2 large tortillas
• 1 chicken breast, cooked and sliced
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• Zest and juice of 1 lemon
• 1 cup fresh baby spinach
• 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced (optional)
• 1/4 cup tzatziki sauce or plain yogurt

How to Make It

• If cooking the chicken, sauté it with minced garlic in olive oil. At the end, add the lemon zest and juice to the pan.
• Spread tzatziki or yogurt on the tortillas.
• Add a layer of fresh spinach leaves.
• Place the lemon-garlic chicken slices on the spinach.
• Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and olives, if using.
• Wrap and enjoy. It’s refreshing and satisfying all at once.

8. Crispy Chicken Tender Wrap

Let’s be honest, sometimes you just want the fun of chicken tenders in a more grown-up package. This wrap is pure, crispy delight. Using pre-made tenders makes it a five-minute meal, but homemade are even better.

Complete Ingredients

• 2 large tortillas
• 4-6 crispy chicken tenders
• 2 tbsp your favorite sauce (ranch, honey mustard, BBQ)
• 2 leaves of green leaf or romaine lettuce
• 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
• 2 slices tomato
• 1/4 cup dill pickle slices (trust me on this)

How to Make It

• Cook your chicken tenders according to package directions until golden and crispy.
• Warm the tortillas. Spread your chosen sauce down the center.
• Place a whole lettuce leaf on the sauce—this helps catch crumbs and adds structure.
• Lay 2-3 chicken tenders on the lettuce.
• Top with shredded cheese, tomato slices, and pickle slices.
• Roll it up tightly. The contrast of the hot, crispy chicken with the cool toppings is fantastic.

9. Chicken Avocado Wrap

Creamy avocado is nature’s butter, and it makes this wrap rich and fulfilling without being heavy. I love the combination with corn and black beans; it’s colorful, healthy, and packed with protein and fiber.

Complete Ingredients

• 2 large tortillas (spinach tortillas work great here)
• 1 chicken breast, cooked and diced
• 1 ripe avocado, mashed
• 1 tbsp lime juice
• 1/4 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1/4 cup corn kernels
• 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
• 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make It

• In a bowl, mash the avocado with lime juice, salt, and pepper to make a simple guacamole.
• Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the entire surface of each tortilla. This acts as your “glue” and flavor layer.
• In the center, layer the diced chicken, black beans, corn, red onion, and cilantro.
• Season with another small pinch of salt and pepper.
• Roll tightly. The avocado keeps everything moist and delicious.

10. Chipotle Chicken Wrap

We’re ending with a deep, smoky flavor. Chipotle brings a warm, lingering heat that’s mellowed by a creamy sauce. This wrap has been a hit at my family gatherings for years—it’s bold and memorable.

Complete Ingredients

• 2 large tortillas
• 1 chicken breast, cooked and shredded
• 2 tbsp chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced (adjust for heat)
• 1/4 cup sour cream or mayonnaise
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 cup cooked rice (white or brown)
• 1/2 cup canned black beans, drained
• 1/4 cup corn kernels
• 1/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

How to Make It

• Mix the shredded chicken with the minced chipotle peppers and adobo sauce.
• In another small bowl, combine the sour cream or mayonnaise with the garlic powder.
• Spread the garlic cream sauce on the tortillas.
• Layer the cooked rice down the center, followed by the chipotle chicken, black beans, corn, and cheese.
• Wrap it up. The rice makes it extra hearty, and the smoky chipotle flavor shines through.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can I make these wraps ahead of time for lunch?

You absolutely can. For the best results, I recommend keeping wet ingredients (like dressings, tomatoes, avocado) separate until you’re ready to eat. Assemble the dry components and pack the sauce on the side. This prevents the tortilla from getting soggy. Wraps with heartier ingredients like the BBQ Chicken or Crispy Tender wrap hold up a bit better fully assembled.

What’s the best way to warm a tortilla so it doesn’t tear?

I’ve tried every method. My favorite is to heat a dry skillet over medium heat for about 15 seconds per side. You can also microwave them for 15-20 seconds between two damp paper towels. The goal is just to make them pliable, not cooked.

Can I use other meats or make these vegetarian?

Of course! Cooking is about adaptation. For vegetarian options, try grilled tofu, chickpeas (especially in the Shawarma or Buffalo spice mixes), or a good veggie burger patty sliced up. The flavors of the sauces and veggies are so strong, they work with almost any protein.

How do I get my wrap to stay rolled and not fall apart?

The folding technique is key: bottom up, sides in, then roll tightly. Don’t overfill it—that’s the main cause of breakage. Also, warming the tortilla first makes it much more cooperative. For really full wraps, a piece of foil or parchment paper around the bottom half is a lifesaver.

Conclusion

There you have it—ten wraps that have earned a permanent spot in my recipe rotation over the years. Each one brings a different mood to your table, from the zesty kick of Lemon Garlic to the cozy crunch of a Crispy Chicken Tender wrap. The beauty of these recipes is their flexibility. Once you get the basic idea—protein, sauce, crunch, veggies—you can start creating your own masterpieces with what you have in the fridge.

I hope these ideas bring as much easy joy to your kitchen as they have to mine. Cooking, for me, has never been about perfection. It’s about the simple act of making something tasty to share with the people you care about. A wrap is a perfect symbol of that: everything good, all bundled up together. So grab a tortilla, pick a recipe, and give it a try. Happy wrapping.
