Preparation

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and allow it to rest for a few minutes before shredding it using forks or your hands.
In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken with Caesar dressing, mixing until the chicken is well-coated.
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.

Assembly

Place a generous scoop of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla.
Top with chopped romaine lettuce and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
