Chicken Parmesan Smashed Tacos

Ingredients:

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 250°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
2. Add the ground chicken, ¼ cup grated Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper to a mixing bowl and mix until well combined.
3. Lay 6 tortillas on the counter and evenly divide the chicken mixture between each tortilla. Press down and spread the meat almost all the way to the edges to create a thin layer.
4. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add one tortilla with the meat down. Use a spatula to press down on the tortilla to make sure the meat is flattened. Cook for 5-6 minutes, the meat should be cooked through. Flip and cook on the other side for 1-2 minutes to crisp the tortilla. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and place in the oven to keep warm while you cook the rest of the “tacos”. Repeat this step until all 6 tacos are cooked.
5. To assemble, top each taco with a spoonful of marinara sauce, some shredded mozzarella, and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan. Return to the oven for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese melts.
6. While the cheese melts, toast the breadcrumbs in a skillet over medium-low heat.
7. Garnish with fresh basil and toasted breadcrumbs for crunch.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy! Fold in half like a taco to eat.
