Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1 cup romaine lettuce, chopped into bite-sized pieces

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup creamy Caesar dressing

12 mini corn tortillas

Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Cook the Chicken: Begin by preheating your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. In a small mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and sea salt to create a marinade. Rub this flavorful mixture all over the chicken breasts. Grill or sauté the chicken for approximately 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the meat is no longer pink in the center. After cooking, remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

    Prepare the Salad: While the chicken rests, take a large mixing bowl and combine the chopped romaine lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, grated Parmesan cheese, and Caesar dressing. Gently toss the ingredients together with a spatula or wooden spoon until everything is evenly coated in the dressing, creating a fresh and zesty salad.

      Assemble the Tacos: Take the mini corn tortillas and warm them in a skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side – just long enough for them to become pliable. To assemble, place a warm tortilla on a plate, then layer on a generous portion of the sliced chicken, followed by a heaping spoonful of the Caesar salad mixture.

        Serve: Once assembled, sprinkle each taco with a dash of freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and added flavor. Serve these delightful tacos immediately while the tortillas are still warm and inviting.

          Enjoy: These mini chicken Caesar salad tacos offer a creative and fun twist on the classic Caesar salad, making them an ideal choice for appetizers or a light meal. Enjoy each bite filled with vibrant flavors!
