Now you can call them what you like I have seen these both called Smashed Burgers and Smashed Tacos and we made a burger version recently which then got me thinking about making a chicken version and it was delicious. I absolutely love making these as a way to switch up the weeknight dinners but also a classic way to switch up a salad or burger.
Ingredients
- 200g Chicken Mince
- 2 Tbsp of Parmesan
- 6 - 8 Lettuce Leaves *Note 1
- 2 Small Wraps I use Simson Pantry Wholemeal *Note 2
- 2 Tbsp Caesar Dressing
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- Approx. 1/8 tsp of both Garlic and Onion Powders *Note 3
- 2 Bacon Rashers Diced
Directions
Dice your bacon into small pieces and cook for a few minutes on medium-higher temp until cooked and crispy. We want crispy little pieces. Don’t add any oil you shouldn’t need it. Once it is cooked drain on a paper towel and pop to the side while you cook the rest
Mix your mince with the onion and garlic powered and add to the one side of your wrap. Chicken mince is a little wetter than normal mince so may be a little harder to get around evenly, but push it flat right to the edges and make it as even as possible so it cooks properly. It should be a thin layer not a thick one. It is about 100g per wrap. See note 4
Add to your fry pan on a medium heat not too high. without any oil (you shouldn’t need it) * See Note 5 cook for approx. 2 minutes or until your meat is cooked through then flip onto the other side to cook the wrap. This will only take about 1 minute, don’t let it burn so keep an eye on it.
Slice your lettuce and mix together with the dressing and parmesan cheese
Once your wrap is done add the lettuce mix, salt and pepper to taste, the bacon and add a little more dressing if you like too. Enjoy right away they are best eaten hot
