Chicken Taco Ingredients

Method

Chicken Taco Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and sprinkle taco seasoning over them. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

  2. 2

    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.

  3. 3

    Warm the Tortillas

    In the same skillet, warm the tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side, or until they are pliable.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    Place a generous amount of shredded chicken onto each tortilla. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, sour cream, and salsa.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the tacos with a side of rice or fries, and a drink choice of water, fountain soda, or juice box.
