A fresh and flavorful twist on classic Caesar salad, these Chicken Caesar Salad Tacos combine tender grilled chicken, crisp romaine, and creamy Caesar dressing in soft tortillas for a delicious handheld meal.
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, about 1 pound
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
8 small flour tortillas (6-inch)
4 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
1/2 cup Caesar dressing
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup croutons, roughly crushed
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the chicken breasts evenly with the seasoned olive oil mixture.
Grill the chicken breasts for 5 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove chicken from heat and let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thin strips.
In a medium bowl, whisk together Caesar dressing, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard until smooth.
In a large bowl, toss chopped romaine lettuce with the dressing mixture until evenly coated.
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side or until pliable.
To assemble each taco, place a layer of dressed romaine lettuce on the tortilla, add sliced grilled chicken on top, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and crushed croutons.
