Description
Smash Chicken Caesar Tacos are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that combines the classic flavors of Caesar salad with the fun of tacos.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup Caesar dressing
- 1 cup romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 8 small flour or corn tortillas
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Preheat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
- Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Place the seasoned chicken in the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, using two forks, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the Caesar dressing, mixing well to coat.
- Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
- To assemble the tacos, place a generous amount of the chicken mixture on each tortilla. Top with chopped romaine lettuce and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
- Serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a few dashes of hot sauce to the chicken mixture.
- Substitute grilled shrimp or tofu for the chicken for a different protein option.
