Of course you can. Just don't expect good results. I've spent the pas few days scraping up cracked tile someone decided to glue down with construction adhesive.

Why not just use ceramic tile adhesive instead. Pretty much the same type of adhesive, but in a bucket instead of a tube. When I started in the business back in the 70's, tile adhesive was widely used. But as they became more & more expensive, thin set became the tilers choice because it became much cheaper and it dries much faster. You will get twice the square foot coverage with thin set for the same cost of tile adhesive. In my opinion, adhesive it is better at holding tile to the floor than thin set.
I prefer using adhesive on bathroom floors when possible because it is oil based and has superior water resist qualities. Problem is, you have to wait 36 to 72 hours for it to fully dry.
It sounds like you want to tile the entryway of your house to prevent your hardwood floor or carpet from rain & snow damage dragged in on wet shoes. If you can wait the 36 to 72 hours of not using the entry door, then I would definitely use the adhesive over the thin set.
