caesar chicken crisps

hey y'all!
so guess what?! yours truly is an employed citizen. that's right, i gots a job. it's at baker & spice, in sw portland. so far, it's amazing! everyone there is incredibly genuine and supportive of me in my inexperienced state.
i have still been cooking though, and will continue to do so!
the other day i made these amazing caesar chicken crisps, and they are fairly quick if you cook the chicken ahead of time and move quickly! also, they're crazy addicting, but the calorie content is low, especially if you use a lower calorie dressing. cannot wait for you to try these! i am seriously considering making a batch for lunch...
here's what you need:



2 chicken breasts
cooking spray
lemon- pepper 
3-4 burrito-sized flour tortillas (look for pillowy, hefty ones!)
Caesar dressing
2 cups jalapeno jack cheese
2 tomatoes, chopped (i used cherry tomatoes, so good, very flavorful)
4 cups romaine lettuce, chopped into bite-sized pieces


preheat oven to 400.
cook the chicken with the lemon pepper until done. what we did is add water to the pan after it was about 3/4 cooked, and we shredded it up, then lidded the pan. this made the chicken moist and tender. and, you can do this ahead of time.
cut your tortillas into 8 slices. spray a large cooking sheet with spray, and place them on it.

bake until golden (a little brown is ok) and firm enough to hold your delicious toppings! 
add about a teaspoon of caesar dressing to each tortilla piece, and add some shredded chicken on top. place cheese on top of chicken. bake again until cheese is just melted.

then add the romaine and tomatoes and voila! a light, amazingly flavorful treat for dinner! perfect for spring! enjoy!
