Beergarita Chicken Tacos image

I was at my friend's bachelorette party the first time I had a beergarita, and I loved it! It was the inspiration for these delicious chicken tacos. I love that they have traditional taco flavors with a fun twist from the margarita! -Ashley Lecker, Green Bay, Wisconsin
