Ingredients
500 g ground chicken
2 tsp garlic powder
Salt and black pepper, to taste
8 small flour tortillas
½ head romaine lettuce, chopped
⅓ cup Caesar dressing
½ cup grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix ground chicken with garlic powder, salt, and pepper until just combined.
- Divide into 8 portions, roll into loose balls, and place on a hot, lightly oiled skillet. Press each into a thin patty with a spatula.
- Cook patties over medium-high heat for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through (165 °F / 74 °C internal temperature).
- Warm tortillas in a dry pan or microwave until soft.
- Toss chopped romaine with Caesar dressing until evenly coated.
- Place a chicken patty on each tortilla, top with dressed romaine, and sprinkle with parmesan.
- Serve immediately while warm and fresh.
Notes
For crispier patties, ensure the pan is hot before pressing the chicken.
Corn tortillas can be used; warm well before serving.
To make low-carb, use lettuce wraps instead of tortillas.
Prepare patties ahead of time and cook just before serving.
Pecorino Romano or Asiago can replace parmesan.
