Juicy, seasoned ground chicken is smashed onto tortillas and cooked to golden perfection, then topped with crisp shredded lettuce, smoky bacon, and plenty of shaved Parmesan for that signature Caesar crunch. A homemade creamy Caesar dressing ties it all together, adding just the right amount of tang and richness. Whether you’re making them for a quick weeknight dinner or a fun weekend bite, these tacos bring a fresh twist to a classic favorite.

Start by preheating the oven to 250 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice, grated parmesan, garlic, water (or milk), salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined and set aside.
Add the chicken, paprika, and Herbes de Provence to a separate 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 cheese, chopped bacon, and shaved parmesan. Drizzle the dressing over the top.
Serve immediately and enjoy! To eat, simply fold in half like a taco.
