5 from 13 reviews

These Smash Chicken Caesar Tacos are a delicious twist on traditional tacos, featuring flavorful ground chicken, crisp romaine lettuce, tangy Caesar dressing, and savory parmesan cheese, all wrapped in a warm flour tortilla. The addition of turkey bacon bits brings a satisfying crunch to each bite.

Ingredients

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 turkey bacon bits

Instructions

  1. Prepare the 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. Finish and Serve: Top each taco with fresh romaine, a drizzle of Caesar dressing, a sprinkle of parmesan, and crispy turkey bacon bits. Can also toss the Caesar salad in advance as pictured here. Fold them up, take a bite, and enjoy!

Notes

  • This recipe works well with ground turkey or beef as a substitute for chicken.
  • Feel free to customize your toppings with additional ingredients like cherry tomatoes, avocado slices, or hot sauce.
