Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground chicken breast

  • Spread a thin, even layer of the chicken mixture onto one side of each tortilla.
  • Press the chicken side into breadcrumbs to coat.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet or on a griddle over medium heat. Cook tortillas chicken side down until golden and cooked through, then flip to toast the tortilla side.
  • Top with marinara and fresh mozzarella. Transfer to the oven and bake until the cheese is melted.
  • Toss arugula with chopped basil, lemon juice, olive oil, and a pinch of salt.
  • Top each taco with the arugula mixture and serve immediately.
  • Y’all… this is good eatin. Let me know if you make it!
