2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 tablespoon canola oil
12 mini flour tortillas, warmed
1 cup pico de gallo, homemade or store-bought
1 avocado, halved, peeled, seeded and diced

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Season chicken with chili powder mixture. Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Working in batches, add chicken to the skillet in a single layer and cook until golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 4-5 minutes per side. Let cool before dicing into bite-size pieces. Serve chicken in tortillas, topped with pico de gallo, avocado, cilantro and lime.

ONE PAN CHICKEN TACOS

Categories     Tacos & Burritos

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

ONE PAN FILLING
2-3 c cooked cold chicken
1 can(s) chili peppers chopped
1 can(s) pinto beans, cooked
1-2 Tbsp chile powder
1/2 c water
1 c leftover veggies (you can add more if you like)
2 c low fat shredded cheddar or mexican mix cheese
WRAPS AND TOPPINGS
burrito or taco shells
1 c medium onion chopped
2 c chopped lettuce
1 c chopped tomatoes or salsa
chopped black olives, jalapenos, cilantro if you like.

Steps:

  • 1. Add cold chicken, beans, chili's, chili powder, water, veggies and about 1/2 of the chopped onion to a deep frypan that has a cover. Bring to a simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring to mix all ingredients, then cover and slowly simmer for another 10 min.
  • 2. Remove lid and spread cheese over the chicken mixture in the pan. Cover pan and turn off the heat.
  • 3. Warm any type of taco/burrito shells (my family is partial to flour) in fry pan, microwave or however you normally do it. I warm mine in a pan that has a cover and just bring the covered pan to the table.
  • 4. Going back to the chicken, when you remove the lid, the cheese should be melted. Sprinkle the rest of the chopped onion, tomatoes or salsa or both and the lettuce evenly over the melted cheese and bring to table with big spoon. Everyone gets to make their own taco. One spoonful gives you everything, filling cheese and toppings. Or you can be traditional and let everyone add their toppings at the table.
  • 5. You can be creative with this, add green peppers, cilantro, jalepenos, whatever your family likes. I serve with low fat sour cream and sometimes guacamole.
