Ingredients
500 g ground chicken
2 teaspoons garlic powder
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
8 small flour tortillas
1/2 head romaine lettuce, chopped
1/3 cup Caesar dressing
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons crispy seasoned turkey bits
Avocado oil, for cooking
Instructions
- Place the ground chicken in a mixing bowl and season with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Mix until the seasonings are evenly distributed.
- Spread a thin layer of the seasoned chicken onto one side of each flour tortilla, pressing firmly so it adheres.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and lightly coat with avocado oil.
- Place the tortillas chicken-side down in the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
- Flip the tortillas and cook for 1 additional minute until the tortilla is crisp and lightly golden.
- Top each taco with chopped romaine lettuce, Caesar dressing, grated parmesan cheese, and crispy seasoned turkey bits.
- Fold and serve immediately while warm and crispy.
Notes
Ground turkey can be substituted for ground chicken.
Add sliced cucumbers, shredded cabbage, or diced tomatoes for extra crunch and freshness.
Mix a little lemon juice into the Caesar dressing for a brighter flavor.
For a spicy version, add crushed red pepper flakes or hot sauce.
Diced avocado adds extra creaminess and healthy fats.
Store cooked chicken tortillas and toppings separately for the best texture.
