Description

These Smash Chicken Caesar Tacos are a delicious twist on traditional tacos, featuring crispy, seasoned ground chicken topped with classic Caesar salad ingredients. Perfect for a quick and satisfying meal!


Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 500g ground chicken
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

For the Tacos:

  • 8 small flour tortillas
  • 1/2 head romaine lettuce
  • 1/3 cup Caesar dressing
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 3 tbsp bacon bits

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Seasoned Chicken: In a bowl, mix ground chicken with garlic powder, black pepper, and salt.
  2. Assemble the Tacos: Spread a thin, even layer of seasoned chicken on the back of each tortilla, pressing it down firmly.
  3. Cook the Tacos: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a little avocado oil, place the tortillas chicken side down, and cook until the chicken is golden and fully cooked (approx 2-3 minutes). Flip the tortilla and crisp up the other side.
  4. Top and Serve: Top each taco with fresh romaine, a drizzle of Caesar dressing, a sprinkle of parmesan, and crispy bacon bits. Can also toss the Caesar salad in advance as pictured here.
  5. Enjoy: Fold them up, take a bite, and get ready for the best crispy chicken taco moment ever.
