I just made this last night!. It was so quick, easy, and surprisingly light! We loved it!.
You will need:
1 tablespoon olive oil (I used extra virgin)
1 pound of boneless skinless chicken thighs cut into small pieces
1 pkg of Lawry's Chicken Taco Seasoning
1 box of white corn taco shells (Make sure they a white corn because they are very thin and light)!.
shredding ice burg lettuce
diced tomato
shredded Mexican cheese blend
tomatillo salsa
This is so simple!. Just heat your olive oil in your skillet until hot and add the chicken pieces!. Cook the chicken pieces until no longer pink, add the the taco seasoning along with half of cup of water!. Lower the temperature and let simmer until most of the liquid is gone!. ( When using chicken, I like to used the premade taco shells, instead of making my own, because I don't like the grease)!. Heat your oven to 350 and crisp up your shells for no longer than three minutes!. Place chicken in shells, and add toppings in this order!. 1) shredded ice burg lettuce 2) diced tomato 3) shredded cheese 4) green salsa *
* I used store bought because I could not find tomatillos, but here is an easy recipe:
Ingredients: 5 medium-sized tomatillos, husks removed ? small onion 1 garlic clove 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro 2 jalape?os Salt to taste 1 tablespoon cooking oil
Preparation: Chop the tomatillos and place them in the blender!. Blend for 20 seconds or until smooth!. Add the onion, garlic, cilantro, jalape?os and salt!. Blend until smooth!. Heat oil in a saucepan!. Add the blended mixture!. Bring to a boil and reduce heat!. Simmer for five minutes!. Serve!. Note: Adjust the jalape?os according to your taste!. For a mild salsa, use only one!. Use more for a spicier salsa!.
This was the first time I have every used Lawry's Chicken taco seasoning or the white corn shells, I found that the seasoning was perfect for my taste and the white shells were really light and crispy!. I found the green salsa was a much better match for chicken than the usual red!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
