Smash Chicken Caesar Tacos offer a vibrant, delicious fusion of a crisp garden salad and a satisfying handheld taco. This viral-inspired recipe features lean ground chicken smashed thinly onto flour tortillas to create a savory, crispy crust. Topped with cool, creamy Caesar dressing, fresh shredded romaine, and plenty of Parmesan cheese, these tacos are the perfect blend of texture and flavor, making them an ideal, quick meal for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale

1 lb ground chicken
6 small flour tortillas
2 cups romaine lettuce, shredded
1/2 cup Caesar dressing
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

In a medium bowl, mix ground chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Divide the chicken mixture into 6 equal portions.
Place one portion of the ground chicken onto the center of each flour tortilla and spread it out thinly to the edges.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the tortillas in the skillet, chicken-side down, and press firmly with a spatula to smash the meat against the pan.
Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the chicken is browned and crispy.
Carefully flip the taco and cook the tortilla side for 1-2 minutes until toasted.
Remove from the skillet and top with shredded romaine lettuce, Caesar dressing, and a generous sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.

Notes

Swap ground chicken for ground turkey if you prefer a leaner protein. Ensure the chicken is spread thinly so it cooks through quickly and doesn’t make the tortilla soggy. Serve immediately while the crust is hot and crispy.
