Ingredients

Main Ingredients

1 lb ground chicken Lean ground chicken works best.
8 small tortillas Flour or corn tortillas can be used.
2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped Freshly chopped for best texture.
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese Use freshly grated for better flavor.
1/4 cup Caesar dressing Store-bought or homemade.
Salt and pepper to taste Enhance flavor of the chicken.
Olive oil for cooking Alternatively, can use another cooking oil.

Method

Cooking Chicken

Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add the ground chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Smash the cooked chicken onto the tortillas to create a crunchy texture.

Assembling Tacos

In a bowl, toss the romaine lettuce with Caesar dressing until coated.
Place the dressed romaine on top of the smashed chicken on each tortilla.
Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and serve immediately.

Notes

To maintain the best texture, keep components separate and assemble just before serving. Consider variations like Spicy BBQ Chicken Caesar Tacos or Vegetarian Options.
