Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 1 pound Ground Chicken Substitute with ground turkey for a lighter option.
  • 1/2 cup Caesar Dressing Try making your own for an extra fresh taste.
For the Tortillas
  • 4 large Flour Tortillas Smaller sizes work great, go gluten-free for an alternative.
For the Toppings
  • 1 cup Romaine Lettuce Kale is a great substitute if you're looking for something different.
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese Skip it for a dairy-free version and use nutritional yeast instead.

Equipment

  • Skillet

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by preheating a large skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until hot.
  2. While the skillet is warming, lay out your flour tortillas on a clean surface. Spread a thin, even layer of ground chicken across each tortilla.
  3. Once the skillet is hot, carefully place the tortillas chicken-side down into the skillet. Press gently with a spatula. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the edges turn golden brown.
  4. After 2-3 minutes, lift one edge of a tortilla to assess its crispness and check that the chicken is no longer pink. Remove the tacos from the skillet and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
  5. Drizzle a generous amount of Caesar dressing inside each tortilla. Then, add a handful of freshly chopped romaine lettuce and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, if desired.
  6. Once assembled, serve your Smash Chicken Caesar Tacos warm for the best texture experience.
