Smashed Chicken Tacos

By: Emmanuel Duverneau

Taco meets burger with these smashed chicken tacos. Crispy chicken, Tillamook Farmstyle Sharp Cheddar Slices, and a tangy burger sauce give these tacos a bold flavor. They deliver all the savory, cheesy goodness of a smash burger, but with a lighter twist that’s perfect for hot summer days.
