Chicken Parmesan Smash Tacos

Chicken parm meets smash tacos in this easy, high-protein dinner. Low-carb tortillas are topped with seasoned ground chicken, marinara, melty mozzarella, Parmesan and fresh arugula for a crispy, cheesy meal with 50+ grams of protein and plenty of fiber.

Ingredients — 1 serving / 2 tacos

• 2 low-carb tortillas

• 6 oz ground chicken

• ½ cup marinara sauce

• ⅓ cup shredded mozzarella

• 2 tbsp grated Parmesan

• 1 cup fresh arugula

• ½ tsp Italian seasoning

• ½ tsp garlic powder

• Salt & pepper

• Cooking spray

• Red pepper flakes, optional

Season the ground chicken with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Divide the chicken between the tortillas and press it into a thin, even layer all the way to the edges.

Place each tortilla chicken-side down in a hot skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Flip, then top with marinara, mozzarella and Parmesan. Cover briefly until the cheese melts and the tortilla becomes crisp. Finish with fresh arugula, extra Parmesan and red pepper flakes.
