Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Shake That all-purpose seasoning or substitute salt and pepper or your favorite all-purpose seasoning for chicken
  • 5 taco-sized flour tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon high-heat cooking oil like avocado oil
  • homemade Caesar dressing
  • romain lettuce washed, chopped, and chilled
  • croutons
  • grated parmesan cheese for topping

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, egg, mayonnaise, panko breadcrumbs, and Shake That seasoning. Mix until just combined; do not overwork.
  • Divide the chicken mixture into 5 equal portions. Spread one portion of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla in a thin, even layer, spreading almost to the edge.
  • Preheat griddle to medium heat, about 400-425℉. Add about 1 tablespoon of oil to the griddle, and spread it around with your spatula.
  • While the griddle is heating up, prepare the Caesar salad topping. Add a few spoonfuls of Caesar dressing to the chilled romaine lettuce, and toss to combine. Add in croutons. Refrigerate the salad until ready to use.
  • Place tortillas meat-side down on the griddle and cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes, or until the ground chicken is a light golden brown color.
  • Flip to the tortilla side and continue cooking until the chicken reaches 165°F internal temperature, checked with an instant-read thermometer. Flip back to the chicken side if needed.
  • Remove from the griddle and top each taco with chilled Caesar salad and a finish of shredded parmesan. Serve immediately.
