Caesar Dressing 1/2 cup
Grated Parmesan Cheese 1/3 cup
Garlic Powder 1 teaspoon
Onion Powder 1/2 teaspoon

Instructions
Preheat skillet over medium-high heat
Place warm tortilla on a plate and press 2-3 tablespoons of seasoned chicken mixture onto half the tortilla, spreading evenly
Repeat with remaining tortillas
Pan-fry each taco in olive oil until crispy and golden (2-3 minutes per side)
Top with romaine, Caesar dressing, and parmesan

Warm tortillas increase adhesion during smashing
Use vegan Caesar dressing and nutritional yeast for a plant-based version
Add avocado slices for creaminess
