Description

Ground, seasoned chicken is pressed directly onto a hot griddle with a tortilla laid on top, smashing the meat into a golden, caramelized crust that fuses deliciously with the tortilla—crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside.

Once off the griddle, the tacos are loaded with a zesty Caesar salad mix—romaine, parmesan shavings, and creamy Caesar dressing—bringing a cool, tangy crunch to every bite.

These tacos are the perfect blend of savory street food and classic Caesar salad, all made sizzling hot on the griddle for maximum flavor and texture.
