Description

These Smash Chicken Caesar Tacos are a delicious twist on traditional tacos, featuring crispy ground chicken topped with fresh romaine, Caesar dressing, parmesan cheese, and bacon bits. Easy to make and perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a fun gathering with friends.


Ingredients

Units Scale

For the chicken:

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

For assembling:

  • 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. In a bowl, mix ground chicken with garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed.
  2. Spread a thin, even layer of seasoned chicken on the back of each tortilla, pressing it down firmly. This will help the chicken adhere to the tortilla.
  3. 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, approximately 2-3 minutes.
  4. Flip the tortilla and crisp up the other side. Ensure both sides are nicely browned.
  5. Top each taco with fresh romaine, a drizzle of Caesar dressing, a sprinkle of parmesan, and crispy bacon bits. Customize with additional toppings if desired.
  6. Fold the tacos, take a bite, and enjoy! These crispy chicken Caesar tacos are ready to impress.
