Recipe Tips
To Make Chicken Tacos:
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (or other cooking oil)
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 2 tablespoons of homemade chicken taco seasoning blend
- 1/2 cup water (or chicken broth)
- White flour tortillas
- Shredded iceberg lettuce
- Shredded cheddar cheese
- Diced tomatoes
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground chicken to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until it's no longer pink. Drain any excess grease.
- Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of your homemade chicken taco seasoning over the cooked chicken. Mix well to coat the chicken with spices. Then add the water or chicken broth and stir. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 5 to 10 minutes, until most of the liquid has evaporated.
- Warm the flour tortillas according to the package directions.
- Fill each tortilla with the seasoned ground chicken, shredded iceberg lettuce, shredded cheddar cheese, and diced tomatoes.
