Instructions

Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat and lightly oil it.
Divide ground chicken into 8 equal balls.
Place a tortilla on a flat surface and press a chicken ball onto the center, flattening it evenly to "smash" the chicken into the tortilla.
Place tortilla chicken-side down onto the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes until chicken is fully cooked and edges are golden. Flip and cook tortilla side for 1 minute to crisp.
Remove from heat, sprinkle cheese on top while warm.
Drizzle with Caesar dressing and top with chopped greens. Fold and enjoy!
