Ingredients

Chicken Tacos

  • 1 large onion, diced

  • 1 tablespoon oil, for sautéing

  • leftover chicken, shredded or chopped (equivalent to 2 chicken cutlets or quarters)

  • 1 packet Ortega taco seasoning mix

  • 1/4 cup water

  • 1 cup cooked rice

  • 1 package crispy corn tacos or soft corn tacos or wraps (6-8)

  • ready-made salsa, optional

  • tomato, diced finely

Salad

  • salt, to taste

  • pepper, to taste

Directions

Prepare the Chicken Tacos

1.

In a deep frying pan, sauté onion in oil over medium heat for about 15 minutes, or until it starts to turn slightly brown. Add shredded chicken and mix periodically until it begins to get crispy, about 10 minutes. Add the packet of taco seasoning and 1/4 cup water. Mix thoroughly.

2.

Make the salad dressing by mixing the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Toss with the lettuce, tomato, and cucumber.

3.

Follow package instructions to warm the taco shell. Layer shell first with cooked rice, then chicken, then salad. Top with salsa if desired, and enjoy!

Tips:

If using soft flour or corn tortillas, I use my grill pan, heated over a high flame, and toast them for about a minute on each side.

Notes:

Sometimes I’ll bake two large chicken cutlets with some taco seasoning just to make this recipe.
