Method

Preparation of Chicken

  1. 1

    Cook the Chicken

    In a medium pan over medium heat, add the chicken breast. Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

  2. 2

    Shred the Chicken

    Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pan and let it rest for a few minutes. Use two forks to shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.

  3. 3

    Season the Chicken

    In the same pan, add the shredded chicken back in and sprinkle the taco seasoning over it. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.

Assembling Tacos

  1. 4

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a separate pan, heat the small corn tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until they are warm and pliable.

  2. 5

    Fill the Tacos

    Take a warm tortilla and add a generous scoop of the seasoned chicken. Sprinkle cheddar cheese on top.

  3. 6

    Add Toppings

    Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, a dollop of sour cream, a spoonful of salsa, and slices of avocado as desired.

Serve with Sides

  1. 7

    Choose Your Side

    Select one or more of the sides, such as refried beans, corn, or cooked rice, and serve alongside the tacos.
