Chicken Caesar Smashed Tacos
Servings: 4

1 – 1½ lbs ground chicken, see notes for tips
½ tsp ground pepper
½ tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder
4-6 small tortillas
tomatoes, sliced, for garnish
shaved parmesan , for garnish
romaine, shredded , for garnish

Caesar Dressing:
½ cup mayonnaise
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 Tbsp dijon mustard, or whole grain mustard. Use more is desired
¼ cup parmesan, grated
1½ Tbsp capers in brine
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp garlic powder, or 1 garlic clove
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp fresh cracked pepper

Make the dressing. Add everything to a small food processor or blender and blitz until its well mixed. Give it a taste and adjust if desired.
Add the ground chicken to a bowl, add salt, pepper, and garlic and mix well.

Using about 1/4 cup of seasoned ground chicken, add it to a flour tortilla and use a spoon to evenly spread the meat on the tortilla.
Heat a skillet on medium with cooking oil and press the tacos meat side down on the skillet. Cook for about 6 minutes on each side.

Continue this process until all the smashed tacos are cooked. If you need to work in batches, just place the cooked smashed tacos on a plate to the side until all are cooked and you are ready to enjoy.

Plate the tacos and assemble, drizzle with a heavy hand of dressing and garnish with parmesan. Enjoy!


Notes
Season well! The chicken should be nice and seasoned so it gets the ultimate flavor.

Use boneless chicken breasts and pop them into a food processor for a more affordable ground chicken!

Taste the dressing as you go. You may want to add more mayo, salt or pepper to it.

Feel free to make these on the black top as well if you’d like.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can freeze these for up to 2 months.
