Steps
In a small bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, and SpiceX Daily Blend seasoning mix until well combined.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Spread half of the cheese mixture in the skillet in a circle to create the taco base.
Place the cooked chicken breast over the cheese layer in the skillet.
Cover the chicken with the remaining cheese mixture.
Cook (or bake if using a tray) until the cheese is golden, bubbling, and crispy around the edges.
While the cheese is cooking, prepare the salad by mixing the romaine lettuce, spinach, yogurt Caesar dressing, and bacon bits (if using) in a bowl.
Carefully remove the cheese and chicken crust from the skillet. While still hot, carefully fold it into a taco shape.
Fill the crispy cheese taco with the prepared Caesar salad and serve immediately.
