The 3-Ingredient No-Cook Meal You’ll Want to Make All Week

While planning elaborate dinners can be fun, there are days when you need something quick and effortless. Whether you’re on a midday break or winding down for the evening, it’s great to know a satisfying meal is just moments away with minimal prep time.

Salads and sandwiches are always convenient, but they can start to feel a bit monotonous even with endless flavor combos. The trick might not be in switching up the ingredients, but in how you present them. Wraps offer a fun twist on sandwiches and make for a tasty on-the-go meal. Our go-to choice is the chicken Caesar wrap—easy to make at home with just three ingredients, even though it’s a staple at many restaurants.

What’s Inside a Caesar Wrap?

This dish is highly customizable and can be assembled in under 10 minutes, leaving you plenty of time to enjoy your meal. You’ll need a salad kit, your preferred tortilla or flatbread, and a rotisserie chicken to make it happen.

Here’s What You’ll Need:

Caesar Salad Kit: Pre-packaged salad kits are a hidden gem. These time-saving kits are perfect for both the grocery store and the kitchen since the ingredients come washed, chopped, and ready to go. If you’re just making one wrap, a single-serve salad bowl will do the trick. For two to four wraps, it’s worth grabbing a full-size salad kit. Plus, the possibilities are endless—you’re not limited to just Caesar. Switch things up with Mediterranean, Green Goddess, or Southwest Taco Salad wraps to suit your taste.

Burrito-Size Tortillas: A large flour tortilla, flatbread, or pita will all work great for this meal. You can warm the tortilla in a pan or microwave if you’d like, but it’s not a must.

Rotisserie Chicken: Shredded or cubed rotisserie chicken adds a quick and easy protein boost. If you don’t have one on hand, any pre-cooked chicken will do. You can enjoy it cold or heat it up in the microwave before adding it to your wrap. Alternatively, grab some grilled or crispy chicken strips from the deli for an extra flavor kick.

How to Make a Caesar Salad Wrap

To prepare the wrap, start by opening your salad kit and transferring the lettuce to a large bowl. Add your preferred amount of dressing, cheese, and croutons, then toss everything together with two forks until evenly mixed. If you prefer, you can mix it directly in the bag and give it a good shake, just like when you enjoy a fast-food salad.

Next, place your desired amount of dressed salad in the center of your tortilla and top with 3-4 ounces of chicken. Feel free to adjust the amounts depending on your personal taste and the size of your wrap.

Fold the edges of your tortilla toward the center and roll it up like a burrito—easy as that! You can enjoy it whole or cut it in half diagonally for a more polished presentation. If you're packing it for lunch, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or parchment paper to keep its shape intact.

The next time you're tempted by the drive-thru, skip it and head to the store instead. You can make this fresh, easy, and budget-friendly meal in just minutes.
