Method

Preparation of Chicken

  1. 1

    Cook the Chicken

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the chicken breasts. Sprinkle the taco seasoning evenly over the chicken. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

  2. 2

    Shred the Chicken

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

Preparation of Toppings

  1. 3

    Prepare the Toppings

    While the chicken is cooking, prepare the toppings. Wash and chop the lettuce, dice the tomatoes, and set out the shredded cheese, sour cream, sliced jalapeños, and chopped cilantro in small bowls.

Preparation of Taco Shells

  1. 4

    Heat the Tortillas

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

Assembly

  1. 5

    Build Your Tacos

    Set out all the prepared ingredients on a table. Allow everyone to take a warm tortilla and fill it with shredded chicken, then add their choice of toppings such as lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, sour cream, jalapeños, and cilantro. Offer guacamole and hot sauce as optional extras.
