Instructions
Creating Smash Chicken Caesar Tacos is easy with these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Start by patting the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This ensures a good sear.
2. Season: In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss the chicken in this mixture until evenly coated.
3. Cook the Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and golden brown.
4. Shred the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, use two forks to shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
5. Mix with Dressing: In the same skillet on low heat, combine the shredded chicken with the Caesar dressing. Stir until the chicken is evenly coated and warmed through.
6. Warm the Tortillas: In a separate skillet or directly over the flame, warm the tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side. This will make them pliable and enhance their flavor.
7. Assemble Tacos: On each tortilla, place a generous amount of the chicken Caesar mixture. Top with chopped romaine lettuce and a sprinkling of grated Parmesan cheese.
8. Add Optional Toppings: If desired, sprinkle croutons on top for added crunch or add any additional greens you like.
9. Serve: Fold the tortillas in half and serve immediately for the best taste.
With these steps, you’ll create Smash Chicken Caesar Tacos that are bursting with flavor and incredibly satisfying.
