Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Smash Chicken Caesar Tacos
  1. Spread ground chicken evenly on the back of each tortilla using a spatula, ensuring a thin and even layer for optimal cooking.
  2. Preheat your skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place each tortilla, chicken side down, on the skillet, pressing down with a spatula.

  4. Remove cooked tacos from the skillet and chop crispy romaine lettuce in a bowl while tacos cool slightly.
  5. Top each taco with a good handful of romaine, sprinkle of parmesan cheese, and drizzle with Caesar dressing.
  6. Serve immediately while tortillas are warm and crispy.
