Easy Street Tacos image

Was in a big hurry one night to make supper, so took some shortcuts to make tacos. We normally eat ground beef tacos, but all I had on hand was some canned chicken breast... turned out really good!

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 can(s) (6 oz each) canned chicken breast, drained
1 pkg taco seasoning mix
12 taco shells
8 oz shredded cheese (e.g., colby-jack, cheddar)
2 limes, cut in quarters
2 c lettuce, shredded
1 c tomatoes, fresh, diced
1/2 c onions, diced
1/2 c picante sauce or salsa

Steps:

  • 1. Add drained chicken to a small non-stick skillet and turn heat on low.
  • 2. Add taco seasoning to chicken and stir gently until spices are evenly distributed. Add 1/2 cup of water and simmer on low while preparing/chopping toppings.
  • 3. When ready to serve, place taco shells on a cookie sheet or in a baking pan and fill each shell with 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture.
  • 4. Top chicken with a splash of lime juice, shredded cheese and onion. Bake tacos in 350 degree oven for about 5 minutes (watch carefully, the shells will burn easily).
  • 5. Remove tacos from oven, let cool a couple of minutes, then top with salsa, tomatoes, and lettuce. Can also add a dollop of sour cream, if desired.
  • 6. Suggestion: Serve immediately with a side of Mexican rice, guacamole & chips, or chili beans.
