chicken tacos

This past Sunday I was at Dan's as always for dinner. We decided to revisit one of our favorites - chicken tacos! Super easy, but we love them so much that I decided to post the recipe (along with an actual photo of the elusive Dan).  Here's what you'll need:

  • 1 lb. of chicken
  • 1 hard taco kit from Old El Paso (of course)
  • 1 packet of OEP taco seasoning
  • Guacamole
  • Salsa (preferably hot)
  • Sour cream
  • Arugula 
  • Cheddar cheese

Make the tacos exactly per the box directions.  In case you don't by that boxed kit, basically just sauté the chicken, the slice and simmer for 10 minutes with 1 cup of water and the taco seasoning.  Preheat your oven to 325 degrees and bake the taco shells in a baking dish.  The add chicken to each and top with cheese and cook until the cheese melts. Finish with the topping of your choice and you're done. We love them with arugula.  I finish mine with guacamole and salsa; Dan loves his with Ranch dressing...whatever the heart desires!

Bon chappétit!

On a side note, I have to give Dan credit. He prepared the entire meal pictured above this week. I was busy with Arts 'n' Crafts (shoutout to Krafty Kats!), preparing our Team ViVa shirts for next weekend's Urban Dare (he's the "Vi," I'm the "Va"). Wish us luck - we want to win that damn cruise!
