Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (16 1/3 ounce) package taco shells
1 medium red bell peppers or 1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons lime juice
lettuce, shredded
cheese, shredded
sour cream
tomatoes, chopped

Steps:

  • Remove tortillas, taco sauce, hot sauce, and taco seasoning mix from dinner kit.
  • Press or fold tortillas to fit into muffin cups coated with vegetable cooking spray, forming bowls; coat bowls with cooking spray. (It helps to microwave the tortillas a few seconds to make them more pliable).
  • Bake at 375ºF for 6 to 8 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Saute chopped bell pepper and onion in hot oil in a large skillet 5 minutes or until tender.
  • Stir in chicken, taco sauce, hot sauce, taco seasoning mix, 1/4 cup water, and lime juice; cook over medium heat 10 minutes.
  • Spoon evenly into tortilla cups, and top with desired condiments.
  • Serve immediately.
