What's in this chicken taco recipe?
Whipped and stacked into crunchy bean taco shells, shredded, deliciously spicy chicken is roasted in the oven till hot and wonderful. In about 25 minutes, dinner will be done, and everyone will be content!
Shredded Chicken: Use well-cooked chicken that has been shredded as the taco filler. I typically choose grilled chicken because it's quick and convenient!
Taco Seasoning: Any taco recipe will taste great with this seasoning mixture, which includes chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and red pepper flakes.
Taco Shells: Use hard taco shells. They bake nice and crispy in the oven!
Shredded Cheese: Use your preferred sort of shredded cheese or a blend from Mexico. Cheese that is recently grated melts delightfully!
Green Chili:For the chicken mixture, use a can of finely diced green chilies. It tastes good and adds some heat. Make sure to totally empty them.
Re fried Beans: Underneath the chicken, the ferried beans' creamy texture offers a great layer of texture and taste. Use roughly half a can.
Tomatoes: The mixture will have more texture if you add a can of diced tomatoes. Again, drain them completely to prevent the chicken taco filling from having too much moisture.
Onions: To enhance flavor and texture, chopped onions are sauteed. You can use red, white, or sweet onions according on your preferences.
Pro tip: Start by baking the taco shells before adding the chicken to keep them crispy while baking. When assembling, I also advise piling the beans on the bottom and the chicken filling on top.
