Info and tips for chicken caesar smash tacos

One of the things people worry about with smash tacos is that the meat won’t be cooked all the way through. But as long as you cook them for 2-3 minutes on each side (medium/high heat) it’ll be completely safe to eat. Once you see the chicken getting a nice golden colour and caramelization on the bottom, it’s cooked through.

You can use flour tortillas if you prefer for this recipe, although I recommend using corn tortillas. You can also make your own caesar dressing, I just used my favourite store bought caesar for convenience. If you’re not a fan of crispy onions, croutons or bacon bits would be great topping options as well.

Equipment

This is the Non Stick Multi Pan I used to cook the tacos. I find crepe pans to be incredibly versatile!
