4 Ingredient Chicken Caesar Salad Tacos
These easy and flavorful Chicken Caesar Salad Tacos use crunchy parmesan taco shells. They’re keto-friendly, low carb and perfect for a quick summer meal.
Ingredients
- 2 cups (180 g) shredded parmesan cheese
- 1 cup (93 g) shredded rotisserie chicken
- 2 cups (200 g) shredded romaine lettuce
- 3 tbsp Caesar dressing, or more as needed
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Make parmesan taco shells: Divide the grated Parmesan cheese into 6 even portions (about 1/3 cup each) on the baking sheet, spreading each portion into a thin, flat circle about 5 inches in diameter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 8-11 minutes, until the cheese is melted and is a light golden brown on the surface.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 1-2 minutes. Gently pat the taco shells with a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
- While still pliable, drape each cheese circle over a large bowl to form a taco shell shape. See photos for reference. Let them cool completely to harden and set.
- Prepare the Caesar salad: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, lettuce, and dressing. Toss to mix well. Taste and add more dressing as needed.
- Fill each Parmesan taco shell with prepared salad, about ¼ cup per taco. If desired, garnish tacos with parmesan cheese or more dressing.
Notes
- You can buy pre-shredded romaine lettuce or shred your own. If shredding your own, you can use food processor or chop it with a knife. You want the the shreds to be about ½ inch thick or smaller.
- You can use whatever your favorite brand of Caesar dressing is.
- We tested making the taco shells with shredded and with finely grated parmesan cheese and found that shredded worked better. The taco shells baked a more even golden brown with the shredded cheese.
