  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 2 tablespoons seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 6 6-inch flour tortillas
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup pain or roasted garlic hummus
  • 2 tablespoons quinoa, dry
  • ½ cup bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 2 cups romaine lettuce, hand torn into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons pickled red onions
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese, shaved or grated
  • ½ cup Caesar salad dressing
  • Freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, seasoned breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning, Dijon mustard, kosher salt, and black pepper.
  2. Divide the mixture evenly into 6 portions and spread it on one side of each tortilla.
  3. If using a griddle, grease it and heat to 350°F. For a cast iron pan, heat medium with about 1 tablespoon vegetable oil for each tortilla.
  4. Place the tortillas on the hot surface with chicken side down. Press firmly with a spatula to sear and cook for about 3 minutes. Flip and cook for 1 more minute. If working in batches, transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in a low oven.
  5. Once cooked, spread 1 cup of hummus across all tacos, followed by quinoa, crumbled bacon, romaine lettuce, pickled onions, and parmesan cheese.
  6. Drizzle with Caesar dressing and add freshly cracked black pepper on top.
