Chicken Caesar Smashed Tacos are a creative and flavorful twist on a classic Caesar salad, featuring crispy tortillas with juicy seasoned chicken and topped with fresh lettuce, parmesan, and creamy Caesar dressing.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb (450 g) ground or finely chopped chicken
  • 46 small tortillas
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 cup romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 1/2 cup Caesar dressing

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix the ground or finely chopped chicken with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
  2. Spread a thin, even layer of the chicken mixture onto one side of each tortilla.
  3. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
  4. Place each tortilla chicken-side down in the pan and cook until the chicken is fully cooked and golden, about 4–5 minutes.
  5. Flip and cook the tortilla side briefly until crispy.
  6. Remove from the pan and top with chopped romaine lettuce, grated parmesan cheese, and Caesar dressing.
  7. Fold slightly and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use a hot pan and avoid overcrowding for maximum crispiness.
  • Grilled or leftover chicken can be used instead of ground chicken.
  • Add cherry tomatoes or avocado for extra freshness.
  • Store chicken tortillas and toppings separately for best texture.
  • Reheat in a pan to maintain crispiness.
