Chicken Caesar Salad, But Fold It Up And Dunk It!
In other words, my dream come true.
I’ve seen a few videos for this method, and I felt like I needed to give it a try, and I WAS CORRECT. What a genius little dinner invention for people who love chicken caesar salad and want to eat it in every available form (it’s me)!
These are crispy taco-like handhelds, golden and crispy outsides that kind of shatter when you bite into them, with seasoned ground chicken and shreddy Caesar salad + pepperoncini smashed inside?!
Dunked in a Caesar sauce?!?!
Holy smokes! They are so yummy. And so easy.
These fall in the same family as the black bean crispies or the pizza burgers – quick little hitters that require very little from you but actually end up being some of the meals you look forward to most.
Hope you love them!

Make Your Caesar Sauce: Whisk sauce ingredients until smooth.
Mix Your Salad: Toss romaine, pepperoncini, parmesan, and about half of the Caesar sauce until well-combined. (For the remaining sauce – whisk it with 1-2 tablespoons of water to make it smoother for dunking.)
Prep the Tacos: Mix the seasoning into the ground chicken. Place your tortillas on a large cutting board or tray; spread each tortilla with some of the ground chicken mixture, pushing it all the way to the edges or even slightly past.
Smash and Fry the Tacos: Heat a thin layer of oil over medium heat (2 tablespoons or more will give you the best crispy crust). Working in batches, place the tortilla chicken-side down and press down with a spatula for 15-30 seconds. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the chicken is browned and fully cooked. Flip to the other side for another minute to get a bit of crisping on the back side of the tortilla.
Almost Done: Remove tacos from skillet and fold in half (the tortilla may crackle a bit when you fold them – that’s fine!). If needed, place on a baking sheet and pop in a warm oven until you’re ready to serve. When you’re ready to eat, stuff the Caesar salad inside the tacos!
Serving: Serve alongside a dish of the remaining Caesar sauce for dipping. YUM!
