Recipe Pro Tips
Use any Caesar dressing you love—homemade or store-bought both work great. If you don’t have anchovies on hand, a good store-bought option is perfect. I like these: one, two, and three.
Ground chicken can be fresh or frozen (just lightly thaw before cooking - if frozen). Super flexible depending on what you have to make it easy to make whenever you want it.
No strict measurements for toppings—add as much or as little dressing, Parmesan, and extras as you like. Make it your perfect bite. Make it what you want to enjoy and eat.

How To Make Chicken Caesar Taco Salad Crisps
Step 1:
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
Step 2:
Make the Caesar spread: In a small bowl, whisk together ½ cup Greek yogurt, ½ cup Caesar dressing, and ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Step 3:
Cook the ground chicken: In a large skillet over medium-low heat, add the ground chicken. Break it into small pieces as it cooks, creating a fine ground texture. Cook until no longer pink, about 5–10 minutes. Reduce heat to low and add 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 2 teaspoons dried parsley, 1½ teaspoons dried basil, and 1½ teaspoons garlic powder. Stir to coat evenly. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then turn off the heat and let cool slightly.
Step 4:
Make the tortilla crisps: Place 2 tortillas on each baking sheet. Brush lightly with olive oil and sprinkle about 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese over each tortilla. Bake for 5 minutes, then switch to broil for 1–2 minutes, until the cheese is melted and golden. Watch closely to avoid burning. Remove from the oven.
Step 5:
Assemble: Spread a generous layer of Caesar spread over each tortilla (divide evenly, but no need to measure exactly).
Step 6:
Top with the cooked ground chicken, spreading evenly over each tortilla. Add about ½ cup chopped romaine to each, then drizzle with Caesar dressing. Top with Parmesan cheese, chopped radishes, and croutons.
Step 7:
Slice each tortilla into 4 pieces using a pizza cutter (one horizontal cut, one vertical). Serve immediately and enjoy! 😋
