Smash Chicken Caesar Tacos

Directions

1. 1

   Cook the bacon on a griddle over medium heat until nearly crisp. Remove and drain on paper towels, reserving the bacon fat on the griddle. Chop the bacon into pieces.

2. 2

   In a bowl, combine ground chicken, egg, seasonings, and panko. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

3. 3

   Divide the chicken mixture into 4 equal portions. Press each portion into a thin, even layer onto one side of a tortilla.

4. 4

   Increase the griddle heat to medium-high (about 450°F). Place the tortillas chicken-side down onto the griddle in the bacon fat. Press firmly to ensure even contact.

5. 5

   Cook for 2–3 minutes, or until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Flip and cook the tortilla side until crispy but still flexible.

6. 6

   In a separate bowl, toss the chopped romaine with Caesar dressing, Parmesan cheese, black pepper, and chopped bacon. Adjust dressing to taste.

7. 7

   Remove the tacos from the griddle and top each with the Caesar salad mixture.

8. 8

   Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
