Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound (450 g) ground chicken
  • 8 small street taco flour tortillas
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 2 hearts California-grown romaine lettuce
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) San Francisco-style sourdough croutons
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) Caesar dressing
  • salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Chop romaine lettuce into small pieces and place in a bowl. Chop croutons and add them to the lettuce. Stir in ¼ cup of parmesan cheese and the Caesar dressing. Toss thoroughly and set aside.
  2. Preheat a Blackstone grill, electric griddle, or large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Combine chicken, the remaining parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix well and divide the mixture into 8 equal portions.
  4. Spread one portion of the chicken mixture evenly across the entire surface of a tortilla. Repeat this process for the remaining tortillas.
  5. Place tortillas chicken-side down on the hot cooking surface, working in batches if necessary. Cook for 3 minutes, then flip and cook the tortilla side for 30 to 90 seconds. Remove from heat.
  6. Top the hot chicken tacos with the prepared Caesar salad and serve.
