    Notes

    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 many chicken pieces 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. Notes-Homemade Caesar Dressing 2 cloves garlic 1 cup mayo 2 teaspoon Dijon mustard1-2 tablespoon white vinegar starts with one tbsp. and add more if you want a more acidic dressing2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce½ cup shredded parmesan.
