Ingredients
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Italian seasoning
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 6 pieces fajita-size tortillas
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 pieces lemon
- 1.5 tsp red wine vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 0.33 cup Parmesan
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 pieces romaine heart
- 0.33 cup Caesar dressing
- 0.5 cup Parmesan
- 0.5 cup croutons
- 0.5 cup croutons
- 0.25 cup Parmesan
- 0.1 cup Caesar dressing
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 lb ground chicken with 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper until well mixed.
- Lay out 6 fajita-size tortillas (about 6 inches in diameter). Evenly spread a thin layer of the seasoned chicken onto one side of each tortilla.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a little olive oil. Place each tortilla chicken-side down onto the skillet.
- Cook the tortillas chicken-side down for 3–4 minutes until the chicken is golden and cooked through. Flip them gently using a spatula and cook for an additional 1–2 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup mayonnaise, 2 tsp Dijon mustard, 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce, juice of 1/2 lemon, 1 1/2 tsp red wine vinegar, 1–2 finely grated garlic cloves, 2–3 tbsp olive oil, 1/3 cup finely grated Parmesan, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper to make the Caesar dressing.
- In a large bowl, toss together 1 romaine heart, finely chopped, with 1/3 cup of the Caesar dressing, 1/2 cup shaved or shredded Parmesan, and half of the 1 cup crushed croutons.
- To assemble the tacos, spoon the Caesar salad onto each chicken-coated tortilla. Sprinkle with the remaining croutons and Parmesan, and if desired, drizzle additional Caesar dressing on top.
