If you love crispy tacos and juicy, flavorful chicken, these Smashed Chicken Tacos are about to become your new go-to meal. Inspired by the viral smash burger technique, this recipe takes seasoned ground chicken or turkey and presses it directly onto a tortilla, creating a perfectly crispy, golden crust. Topped with crunchy shredded lettuce, melty cheese, juicy tomatoes, and briny black olives, every bite is packed with bold, Tex-Mex flavor. Whether you’re making a quick weeknight dinner or a fun twist on taco night, these smashed tacos are an easy and delicious way to upgrade your routine.

Start by preheating the oven to 250 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
Add the chicken and taco seasoning to a mixing bowl and mix until well combined.
Lay our 6 tortillas on the counter and evenly divide the mixture between each tortilla. Press down and spread the meat almost all the way to the sides. The meat should be a thin layer. I like to wear rubber gloves when doing this, but you can use your bare hands or perhaps the bottom of a glass if you don’t want to touch the raw meat.
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add one tortilla with the meat facing down. Use a spatula to press down on the tortilla to make sure the meat is flattened. It’s OK if it sticks out the sides slightly. Cook for 5-6 minutes, the meat should be cooked through because it’s so thin. Flip and cook on the other side for 1-2 minutes to crisp the tortilla. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and place in the oven to keep warm while you cook the rest of the “tacos”. Repeat this step until all 6 tacos are cooked.
When ready to assemble, top each with shredded lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, olives, and any other toppings of your choice.
Serve immediately and enjoy! To eat, simply fold in half like a taco.
