Description

Flavor-packed tacos with seasoned ground chicken, tangy Caesar dressing, crisp romaine, and Parmesan for a quick, family-friendly meal. No pork or alcohol used.


Ingredients

Scale

500 g ground chicken
2 tsp garlic powder
Salt and black pepper to taste
8 small flour tortillas
1–2 tbsp avocado oil
½ head romaine lettuce, chopped
⅓ cup Caesar dressing
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp smoked paprika (bacon substitute)


Instructions

In a bowl, mix ground chicken, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Divide into 8 equal portions. Heat avocado oil in a skillet. Sear chicken patties for 3-4 minutes per side until browned.
Warm tortillas in the oven or on a skillet. Toss chopped romaine with Caesar dressing. Assemble tacos by layering chicken, dressed romaine, Parmesan, and a sprinkle of smoked paprika for a bacon-like flavor.


Notes

Substitute chicken with ground turkey or tofu. Use gluten-free tortillas if needed. For dairy-free: omit Parmesan or use a plant-based version. Store leftovers separately for up to 2 days.
