Easy and Fast Soft Chicken Tacos

Queen uh Cuisine's Note:

I had a busy day and came up with this easy recipe for soft tacos. It's good, fast and inexpensive. I usually make two at a time but if you have a tortilla warmer, that will make it easier for everyone to eat at the same time.

• Total Time: 20 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 6-8

Yield: 8.0 tacos

• 1 whole roasted deli chicken
• 1 cup salsa
• 3 cups lettuce, chopped
• 3 medium tomatoes, chopped
• 2 cups Mexican blend cheese
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup jalapeno (optional)
• 8 (7 inch) flour tortillas
• taco sauce

Directions:

1. Remove chicken meat and make into bite size pieces, place in a 10-12" skillet.
2. Add salsa to the chicken and simmer on low for 10-15 minutes.
3. Place lettuce, tomatoes and sour cream into individual bowls and set aside.
4. Place two tortillas in a brown lunch bag,.
5. close tightly and microwave for 30 seconds.
6. Place 2 tortillas on a plate and add ingredients in any order you like. There is no real way to make a taco.
7. While the first person is making their tacos, heat the second person's tortillas, and so on. This way everyone's food is hot. If you have a tortilla warmer, that would work great.

This made for a great lunch! Only problem... thought I had salsa ... and didn't!! Had to make do with diced tomatoes (added some crushed red pepper) - will make again for sure with the real thing!! Used light sour cream and some shredded light mozzarella. Thanks Queen! :)
