Taco Filling

Method

Prepare the Chicken

  1. 1

    Cook the Chicken

    In a medium bowl, combine chicken breast with olive oil, taco seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Chicken

    In a skillet over medium-high heat, add the seasoned chicken. Cook for 6-8 minutes on each side or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

  3. 3

    Shred the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, using two forks, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.

Assemble the Tacos

  1. 4

    Fill the Taco Shells

    Take a taco shell and fill it with shredded lettuce, then add a generous portion of the seasoned chicken.

  2. 5

    Add Toppings

    Top the chicken with diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, sour cream, sliced jalapeños, and fresh cilantro as desired.

  3. 6

    Serve

    Repeat the assembly process for all taco shells. Serve immediately and enjoy your Ala Carte Chix Taco!
