Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 4 tacos
Ingredients
Taco Filling
4 chicken tenders or 1 skinless, boneless chicken breast cut into strips
½ lb chopped bacon
2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
2 tbsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Taco Shells
2 cups shredded parmesan cheese
Caesar Dressing
2 egg yolks
3 cloves garlic
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
¼ cup shredded parmesan cheese
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp anchovy paste
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
½ cup olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Prepare the Chicken
Season chicken strips with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook chicken for about 5 minutes per side until golden and fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
Cook the Bacon
In the same pan, cook chopped bacon until crispy. Drain excess grease and mix bacon with garlic powder. Set aside.
Make the Parmesan Taco Shells
Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese and spread evenly in the pan. Cook until cheese melts, bubbles, and becomes golden.
Form Taco Shells
Carefully remove melted cheese and place over a taco holder or the back of a spoon to form taco shape. Let cool until firm. Repeat with remaining cheese.
Prepare the Dressing
In a blender, combine egg yolks, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, parmesan cheese, lemon juice, anchovy paste, Dijon mustard, and olive oil. Blend until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
Assemble the Tacos
Fill parmesan shells with chopped romaine lettuce, cooked chicken, and crispy bacon. Drizzle with Caesar dressing.
Serve
Serve immediately while shells are crisp and filling is fresh.
