Chicken Caesar Smashburger Tacos 🌮 ✨
Chicken Caesar Patties:
1 lb ground chicken
1 egg
1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 lemon (zested)
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp italian seasoning
1/4 cup parmesan cheese (more for topping)
8 taco-sized tortillas (we like flour; corn works, too)
To top:
3 cup romaine lettuce
Homemade Caesar dressing >>
Breadcrumbs:
2 tsp olive oil
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
kosher salt (as needed)
garlic powder (as needed)
1) Prepare caesar dressing and set aside until ready to toss salad.
2) To prepare breadcrumbs, heat olive oil to medium in a small pan. Add breadcrumbs and season lightly with kosher salt and garlic powder. Cook, stirring often, until crispy and golden. Set aside.
3)?To prepare patties, gently mix all ingredients in a medium bowl. Separate into 8 balls (I use gloves for this as they can be sticky).
4) Heat a grill pan or cast iron pan to medium-high and spray with cooking spray or drizzle with oil.
5) Press each ball into a tortilla, spreading evenly over one side of tortilla.
6) In batches, place tortillas in hot pan, chicken side down and cook for 3-4 minutes until almost cooked through. Flip and cook another 2-3 minutes until tortilla is crispy and chicken is cooked through.
7) When ready to serve, toss romaine with caesar dressing. Top each smashburger with caesar salad, crispy breadcrumbs and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese. Serve with lemon wedges if desired.
