Instructions

1
In a bowl, toss the chopped romaine lettuce and croutons with most of the Caesar dressing until coated. Set aside.
2
Season the ground chicken with salt and pepper.
3
Spread a thin, even layer of the seasoned ground chicken onto one side of each flour tortilla, pressing it down firmly.
4
Heat cooking oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place the tortillas chicken-side down in the hot pan.
5
Cook for 3-4 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown. Flip and cook for another minute to toast the tortilla.
6
Transfer the cooked chicken tortillas to a plate.
7
Top each tortilla with the prepared Caesar salad.
8
Drizzle with the remaining Caesar dressing and garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley.
9
Finish with a crack of fresh black pepper and serve immediately.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Pan-fry the tortillas separately until edges are golden and crisp before filling to prevent them from becoming soggy.
Season the ground chicken generously with salt and pepper while it cooks to build flavor, and break it into fine crumbles for even cooking.
Use fresh, chopped romaine lettuce and add dressing just before serving to maintain crispness and texture.
Don't over-dress; start with the stated 1/4 cup and add more if desired, as excess dressing will wilt the lettuce quickly.

Substitutions

Ground chicken → Ground turkey or cooked shredded chicken (cooks in same time, similar texture)
Romaine lettuce → Iceberg lettuce or mixed greens (slightly softer texture, same freshness)
Flour tortillas → Corn tortillas (nuttier flavor, less pliable when crisped)
Caesar dressing → Ranch or creamy garlic dressing (different flavor profile, same application method)

Storage & make-ahead

Store cooked chicken refrigerated in an airtight container up to 3 days; crispy tortillas up to 2 days in a sealed container. Reheat chicken gently in a pan over low heat; assemble fresh with lettuce and dressing just before eating.
