1 Combine ground chicken, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, garlic, Italian seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a bowl. Mix until well combined.
2 Spread mixture evenly and all the way to the edges of each tortilla.
3 Place eggs in a shallow dish. Stir together breadcrumbs and remaining Parmesan cheese in second shallow dish.
4 Dip each tortilla, meat side down, into egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off and then press lightly into breadcrumb mixture to coat.
5 Working in batches, in a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat until just shimmering. Place tortillas, breaded side down, in the skillet and allow to cook until golden brown and crisp, about 4 minutes. Flip and cook until lightly golden brown, about 1 more minute. Repeat with remaining tortillas and add more oil as needed.
6 For Caprese salsa, stir tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, 1 tablespoon olive oil, vinegar, and remaining salt and pepper together in a bowl.
7 Fold tacos in half and serve, topped with Caprese salsa.
