Tasty Tacos
Quick-to-make tacos are hard to beat for a weeknight dinner. This easy and flavorful Mexican recipe for chicken tacos offers a wholesome alternative to the packaged taco seasoning you find at the store.
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 cup minced onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 serrano chili, minced
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 1/2 cups shredded, cooked chicken
12 flour tortillas
Directions:
1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and chili and sauté until the onion has softened, about 6 minutes.
2. Add the tomato sauce, cumin, and salt and continue to cook for one more minute. Add the chicken and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes.
3. Taste, and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve in tortillas with toppings of your choice. Makes about 3 1/2 cups.
Topping suggestions – salsa, shredded cheese, chopped tomatoes, black olives, and shredded lettuce.
Tip for an additional topping (and side dish for dipping) - if you enjoy Guacumole, visit www.schwans.com for the easiest and tastiest I’ve tried. Once on the website, just use their search for Guacumole.
Serve with a side order of Spanish Rice (we keep the Old El Paso box recipe on hand), tortill chips and a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert.
