Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • ¼ cup plus 2 tbsp Caesar dressing, divided
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 2 cups thinly sliced romaine hearts
  • 6 small (6-inch) flour tortillas
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. Toss romaine with 2 tbsp Caesar dressing and half the Parmesan. Set aside.
  2. Mix ground chicken with 1 tbsp Caesar dressing, remaining Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high. Place 1 tortilla in pan, spread 2 tbsp chicken mixture over half, smash thin with a spatula. Cook 3 min until golden, flip, cook 3 to 4 min more until chicken reaches 165°F and tortilla is crisp.
  4. Top with reserved slaw, fold, and serve immediately.

Notes

A heavy pan gives the tortilla the best crunch. If the chicken mixture sticks to your spatula while smashing, coat the spatula with a quick spray of cooking oil first.
