These crispy Chicken Caesar Smash Tacos are one of my favorite easy dinners! Juicy seasoned chicken is smashed onto tortillas until golden and crispy, then topped with a fresh Caesar salad, crunchy croutons, and plenty of Parmesan. They’re ready in about 20 minutes and make the perfect weeknight meal.

Ingredients

For the Chicken Smash Tacos

* 1 lb ground chicken
* ½ tsp garlic powder
* ½ tsp Italian seasoning
* ½ tsp salt
* ¼ tsp black pepper
* 6 fajita-size tortillas (6-inch)
* Olive oil or cooking spray

For the Caesar Salad

* 1 romaine heart, finely chopped
* ⅓ cup Caesar dressing (homemade or store-bought)
* ½ cup shaved or shredded Parmesan cheese
* 1 cup crushed croutons

Homemade Caesar Dressing

* 1 cup mayonnaise
* 2 tsp Dijon mustard
* 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
* Juice of ½ lemon
* 1½ tsp red wine vinegar
* 1–2 garlic cloves, finely grated
* 2–3 tbsp olive oil
* ⅓ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
* ¼ tsp salt
* ½ tsp black pepper

Directions

1. In a bowl, combine the ground chicken with the garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until evenly mixed.
2. Spread a thin layer of the seasoned chicken over one side of each tortilla. Heat a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat and place the tortilla chicken-side down. Cook for 3–4 minutes, then flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until the tortilla is crispy and the chicken is fully cooked.
3. To make the dressing, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, garlic, salt, and pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil, then stir in the grated Parmesan.
4. Toss the chopped romaine with the Caesar dressing, Parmesan, and half of the crushed croutons.
5. Top each warm smash taco with the Caesar salad. Finish with the remaining croutons, extra Parmesan, and an extra drizzle of Caesar dressing. Serve immediately while the tortillas are crispy.
