- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground Ancho chile pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- ¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Caesar Dressing:
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon anchovy paste
- 1 ½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
- 3 garlic cloves
- ¾ cup olive oil

- Tortillas, for serving
- ¼ pint cherry tomatoes

Instructions
-
To Make the Chicken Breasts: In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, Ancho chile pepper, cumin, coriander and cayenne. Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a baking dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken and turn it a few times until it’s evenly coated. Cover and transfer to the fridge to marinate for about 1 hour.
-
In a large skillet, set over moderately high heat, add a few tablespoons of oil. When hot, add the chicken and cook for about 5 minutes per side, until firm to the touch. Transfer to a cutting board and allow to rest for about 5 minutes before cutting it.
-
To Make Caesar Dressing/Salad: To a blender, add all of the ingredients, except the oil, and pulse until smooth. With the blender running on low, pour in the olive oil and pulse until very smooth.
-
To Assemble the Tacos: Toss the romaine lettuce with about a tablespoon of dressing until evenly coated.
-
Add a few slices of chicken to each tortilla. Top with a handful of salad, an extra drizzle of dressing, some tomatoes, radishes and sprigs of cilantro. Repeat until you’ve assembled all of the tacos. Serve immediately.
