Ingredients
- 500 g ground chicken
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt to taste
- 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 turkey bacon bits
- Avocado oil for cooking
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly mixed.
- Spread a thin layer of the seasoned chicken mixture across the back of each tortilla, pressing firmly so the chicken sticks evenly.

- Flip the tortillas and cook the other side for another 1–2 minutes until crispy.
- In a separate bowl, toss chopped romaine lettuce with Caesar dressing if desired.
- Top each Smash Chicken Caesar Taco with romaine, parmesan cheese, and turkey bacon bits.
- Fold the tacos and serve immediately while crispy and warm.

- Serve with fries, roasted potatoes, or a simple salad.
- Add red pepper flakes for a spicy twist.
