Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine: the ground chicken with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until evenly seasoned.
  2. Place the tortillas on a cutting board: Spread a thin, even layer of the chicken mixture onto the back of each tortilla, pressing firmly to adhere.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat: Add a thin layer of oil. Place the tortillas chicken-side down and cook for about 3 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and crispy.
  4. Flip the tortillas: Cook the plain side for another 1-2 minutes until golden and crunchy.
  5. Top each taco: With chopped romaine lettuce, a drizzle of Caesar dressing, Parmesan cheese, and bacon bits. Alternatively, toss the salad ingredients together first and spoon onto the tacos.
  6. Fold the tacos: Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
