Notes
Notes
- I use Siete almond flour tortillas, but you can use your favorite gluten free tortillas.
- Confirm that the Caesar dressing and panko breadcrumbs are labeled gluten free.
- Only add the dressing to the romaine lettuce, not to the ground chicken.
- Toss the lettuce with the dressing immediately before serving to prevent it from becoming soggy.
- Keep the chicken, tortillas, lettuce, dressing, Parmesan, and breadcrumbs separate when storing leftovers.
- For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free Caesar dressing and dairy-free Parmesan.
