Ingredients
  

For the Taco Filling
  • 1 lb Ground Chicken Essential protein source; use lean ground turkey for a similar taste.
  • 1/2 cup Caesar Dressing Adds creaminess and flavor; try using a yogurt-based version for a lighter option.
  • 2 cups Romaine Lettuce Brings a refreshing crunch; spinach can be a tasty substitute if you prefer.
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese Elevates flavor; swap with nutritional yeast for a dairy-free alternative.
For the Tacos
  • 8 small Flour Tortillas The crunchy base of your tacos; low-carb options work well too.
Optional Toppings
  • 1/2 cup Crushed Croutons Adds delightful crunch; replace with toasted nuts for a gluten-free version.
  • 1 whole Lemon Brightens flavors with added acidity; a squeeze just before serving enhances the freshness.

Equipment

  • large skillet

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by placing a large skillet over medium-high heat, allowing it to warm up for about 2 minutes.
  2. Take your small flour tortillas and spread a thin layer of ground chicken evenly across the back of each one, pressing down lightly to ensure it sticks.
  3. Carefully place the prepared tortilla, chicken-side down, into the hot skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes, watching for the edges to turn golden brown.
  4. Gently flip the taco using a spatula, taking care not to spill the chicken. Cook for another 2–3 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked through and the tortilla is golden and crispy.
  5. Once cooked, carefully remove the tacos from the skillet and place them on a serving platter. Top each taco with a generous layer of fresh romaine lettuce, a drizzle of creamy Caesar dressing, and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese.
  6. Consider adding crushed croutons or toasted nuts on top of the tacos for a delightful texture contrast. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice right before serving will brighten the flavors.
  7. Serve your tacos right away while they're still warm and crispy.
