Tacos Get a Chicken Caesar Twist

The Smash Chicken Caesar Tacos recipe combines the flavors of a traditional Caesar salad with the crunch of a taco. Caesar salad is a classic dish that typically features a creamy dressing made from anchovies, garlic, mustard, and more, along with crunchy romaine lettuce leaves and large croutons.

It has evolved over the years, but its core flavors and ingredients have remained largely the same. While the classic salad is still a favorite, they offer a nice spin on the original.

These tacos use a tortilla shell as the base, which can be made from various types of flour, such as organic flour, almond flour, or cassava flour. The key is to choose a tortilla that is not too big, making it easier to flip.

The twist in this recipe is smashing a seasoned chicken mixture onto the tortilla and cooking it until golden and crispy. This adds a significant amount of protein and flavor to the dish. The chicken is seasoned with a blend of Italian seasoning, lemon pepper, garlic, and onion.

The Caesar dressing is what makes this recipe truly special. It is made with a blend of mayo and yogurt, which gives it a tangy and creamy texture. The addition of Worcestershire sauce and anchovy paste adds earthy flavors, while lemon provides brightness and tang.

Using homemade mayo is a healthy and easy option, but there are also some good store-bought mayo options available, such as avocado oil mayonnaise from Primal Kitchen.

To assemble the tacos, the chicken mixture is spread onto the tortilla, and then cooked in a skillet until crispy. The tortilla is then topped with a mixture of romaine lettuce, Caesar dressing, and Parmesan cheese.

The result is a crunchy and protein-packed taco that is full of flavor. The Caesar dressing really makes the dish, and it tastes even better after it has been refrigerated for a while to allow the flavors to combine.

One of the benefits of this recipe is that it can be meal prepped ahead of time. The chicken mixture and dressing can be made beforehand, making it easy to assemble the tacos when you’re ready to eat.

These tacos are a delicious and balanced meal that can be enjoyed by everyone.
