Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken with garlic powder, salt, and pepper, ensuring even seasoning. Use your hands to mix until everything is just incorporated.
  2. Take small flour tortillas and spread a thin, even layer of the seasoned ground chicken on the back of each tortilla.
  3. Place a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of avocado oil, allowing it to heat up for about 1 minute.
  4. Once the skillet is heated, carefully place the tortillas chicken-side down in the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes without moving them.
  5. Using a spatula, gently flip the tortillas to crisp the other side. Cook for another 1-2 minutes.
  6. Remove the tacos from the skillet and top each taco with lettuce, Caesar dressing, and Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle with bacon bits if desired.
  7. Carefully fold each taco in half and serve them immediately.
