Taco Filling

Method

Taco Filling Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Chicken

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken breasts. Season with taco seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  2. 2

    Shred the Chicken

    Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and let it cool for a few minutes. Then, using two forks, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.

Taco Assembly

  1. 3

    Warm the Tortillas

    In the same skillet, warm the corn tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until they are pliable.

  2. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    Take a warm tortilla and fill it with the shredded chicken. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and shredded cheese. Add sour cream, sliced jalapeños, and fresh cilantro as desired.

  3. 5

    Serve

    Serve the tacos immediately while they are warm. Enjoy your delicious chicken tacos!
