Ah, Costco. The land of bulk buys, free samples, and $1.50 hot dogs. And among its bulk snack options live tons of tasty, protein-dense choices. With its endless offerings, Costco has quickly become a haven for fitness enthusiasts looking to hit their daily protein goals. Recently, their premade chicken caesar wraps have been trending on social media, praised for their fresh ingredients and high protein content.
So, what’s actually in Costco’s chicken caesar wrap? Each wrap is packed with a generous serving of Kirkland rotisserie chicken, romaine lettuce, and shredded parmesan in a wheat tortilla. It comes with a side of Caesar dressing, letting you control just how saucy you want it—though some have noted it’s not enough. Still, it’s a simple, straightforward, and surprisingly satisfying quick meal option.
The wraps are sold at $6.99 per pound, and most packages land somewhere between $15 to $20. Each pack contains four wrap halves, which is perfect for portioning lunches across a couple of days. Many shoppers note that a single half is pretty filling, thanks to the generous chicken portion. You can snag them in Costco’s prepared foods section.

Here are the macros for a 294-gram serving, which is about one wrap piece:
- Calories: 540
- Fat: 31 grams
- Carbs: 29 grams
- Protein: 36 grams
The protein content is definitely impressive, and the calorie count is reasonable. As is the case with many prepackaged foods, it’s fairly high in fat and sodium (1,730 mg), so it’s best consumed in moderation. Still, if you need a quick, balanced option with protein, carbs, and greens, it certainly checks all the boxes.
Does It Deserve the Hype?
For a quick, protein-packed lunch option, yes, it works. Fans of Costco’s chicken caesar wrap rave about the convenience and flavor, commending how filling and tasty the wraps are.
On the flipside, some critics have noted the wraps are best eaten fresh. The lettuce turns soggy after spending too much time in the fridge, turning it into a textural nightmare. Others have said it’s a little bare bones for the high price tag. Ultimately, it’s worth trying yourself to land on a final verdict.
