Description

A delightful twist on classic Caesar salad, these tacos combine savory ground chicken, tangy dressing, and crispy bacon bits for a flavorful meal.


Ingredients

  • 500g ground chicken
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 8 small flour tortillas
  • 1/2 head romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 1/3 cup Caesar dressing
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 3 tbsp crispy bacon bits


Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken mixture: In a large bowl, mix the ground chicken with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until it’s evenly combined.
  2. Form the tacos: Press a thin, even layer of the chicken mixture onto the back of each tortilla, ensuring that the chicken is spread to the edges for an even cook.
  3. Heat the skillet: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a little avocado oil to prevent sticking.
  4. Cook the tacos: Carefully place the tortillas chicken-side down in the skillet. Press gently with a spatula and cook for 2–3 minutes until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked through.
  5. Flip and finish cooking: Flip the tortillas and cook the other side for an additional 1–2 minutes until lightly crisp.
  6. Assemble the tacos: Remove the tacos from the skillet and top each with chopped romaine lettuce, Caesar dressing, grated parmesan cheese, and crispy bacon bits.
  7. Serve immediately: Fold the tacos in half and enjoy while hot for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

For a beautiful presentation, serve with lime wedges on the side. Adjust seasoning based on personal preference.
