These Smash Chicken Caesar Tacos combine the best of both worlds—crispy smashed chicken, garlicky Caesar dressing, and a warm tortilla to hold it all together. They’re perfect for an easy weeknight meal or a fun twist on taco night!

Ingredients:

• 1lb ground chicken
• 2 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion salt
• 1 tsp Italian seasonings
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 8 small flour tortillas
• 1/2 head romaine lettuce
• 1/3 cup ceasar dressing ** see notes for my homemade dressing 
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

In a bowl, mix ground chicken with garlic powder, onion salt, Italian seasonings and black pepper. 

Spread a thin, even layer of seasoned chicken on the back of each tortilla, pressing it down firmly.

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a little 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.

Top each taco with salad mix and a sprinkle of parmesan.

Fold them up and enjoy!

Tips- Smash the Chicken Evenly – Spread the ground chicken in a thin, even layer on the back of the tortilla to ensure it cooks through and gets perfectly crispy.

Use Small Tortillas for the Best Crisp – Flour tortillas crisp up better than corn, and smaller sizes help the chicken cook evenly without breaking apart.

Don’t Overload with Chicken – Too much chicken can cook uneven and give you a soggy tortilla. Stick to a thin layer for that golden, crispy finish.

Let the Skillet Get Hot First. Make sure your pan is fully heated before placing the tacos down for the best crunch.
