Salsa Chicken Tacos

We are Tex-Mex lovers here at the cottage and we love our tacos. The filling for these taco's is just delicious and takes no time to have them on the table. A great time saving recipe for any occasion to feed a few or a large group.  Our Salsa Chicken Taco recipe is so versatile that we have used the filling with other tortillas and lettuce wrap. The filling recipe freezes well for up to 3 months, a great recipe to have on hand for that busy day.

Making Salsa Chicken Tacos

We begin this recipe with

 a sauté of onion and garlic in a 

hot oiled iron skillet.

Add the ground chicken, stir and

 cook until the chicken is cooked.

After the chicken is completely cooked

 simmer for 5 minutes.

Season the filling and add the salsa, stirring together until completely mixed .

Simmer for 5 to 7 minutes.

Begin to fill the baked taco shells.

Next I like to add shredded Iceberg Lettuce and fresh sliced cherry tomatoes.

To complete these delicious tacos, add chopped green onions, fresh cilantro, and a mix of shredded sharp cheddar and pepper jack cheese.
