Equipment
- 1 skillet non-stick
- 1 spatula
- 1 mixing bowl medium
Ingredients
Taco Filling
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 packet chicken taco seasoning
Tacos
- 8 soft tortillas
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 cup shredded cheese
Instructions
Preparation
- Dice the onions and mince the garlic. Gather all ingredients before starting to cook.
Cooking the Filling
- Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onions and minced garlic, cooking until the onions are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the ground chicken to the skillet. Use a spatula to break it apart as it cooks. Continue cooking until fully browned and no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes.
- Sprinkle the chicken taco seasoning over the cooked chicken. Mix well to ensure even coating. Let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Assembling the Tacos
- Lightly warm the soft tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave to make them pliable.
- Place a generous amount of the seasoned ground chicken onto each tortilla. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and shredded cheese.
Serving
- Serve the tacos immediately while warm. Offer additional toppings such as sour cream or guacamole on the side.
Storage
- Store any leftover chicken filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat thoroughly before serving.
