Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Mixture

  • 500 g ground chicken
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Tacos

  • 8 small flour tortillas
  • 1/2 head romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 1/3 cup Caesar dressing
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 tbsp bacon bits
  • Avocado oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. Season the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the ground chicken with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, mixing thoroughly to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
  2. Prepare the Tortillas: Spread a thin, even layer of the seasoned ground chicken onto the back side of each tortilla, pressing down firmly so the chicken adheres well.
  3. Cook the Tacos: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a small amount of avocado oil. Place each tortilla chicken side down onto the skillet and cook for approximately 2-3 minutes until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked. Flip the tortilla and cook the other side until crisp.
  4. Add the Toppings: Remove the tortillas from the skillet. Top each with chopped fresh romaine lettuce, a drizzle of Caesar dressing, a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese, and crispy bacon bits.
  5. Serve: Fold each taco and serve immediately, enjoying the combination of crispy chicken and fresh Caesar salad flavors.

Notes

  • You can toss the romaine lettuce with the Caesar dressing in advance to evenly coat before assembling the tacos.
  • Use small tortillas to make it easier to fold and eat these tacos.
  • Feel free to substitute bacon bits with crispy cooked bacon slices for more texture.
  • For a low-carb alternative, consider using lettuce wraps in place of tortillas.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste, adding more garlic powder or pepper as preferred.
