Instructions

Creating Smash Chicken Caesar Tacos is straightforward and fun. Follow these steps to ensure the best results:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Begin by flattening the chicken breasts slightly to ensure even cooking.
2. Seasoning: In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Brush the mixture over the chicken breasts.
3. Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.
4. Shred the Chicken: Once cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
5. Mix with Dressing: In a bowl, combine shredded chicken with Caesar dressing, stirring until well coated.
6. Warm the Tortillas: In the same skillet or in the microwave, warm the tortillas for about 30 seconds until pliable.
7. Assemble the Tacos: On each tortilla, layer the shredded chicken mixture, followed by chopped romaine lettuce and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
8. Add Optional Toppings: Customize your tacos with crispy bacon bits, halved cherry tomatoes, or chopped fresh parsley for added flavor.
9. Serve Immediately: Enjoy the smash chicken Caesar tacos while they’re warm for the best taste experience.
