ingredients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 lb ground chicken
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
12 taco shells
3 ounces chorizo sausages, chopped
3 scallions, chopped
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tomatoes, chopped
¹⁄₂ head iceberg lettuce, shredded
2 cups grated cheddar cheese
salsa

directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Heat oil in a nonstick frying pan.
Add the chicken, salt and cumin and fry over a medium heat until the chicken is cooked through, 5 to 8 minutes; stir frequently to prevent large lumps from forming.
Meanwhile, arrange the taco shells in one layer on a large baking sheet and heat in the oven for about 8 to 10 minutes, or according to package directions.
Add the chorizo and the scallions to the chicken mixture and stir to combine; cook until just warmed through, stirring occasionally.
Add salt and freshly ground black pepper if desired, to taste.
To assemble the tacos, place 1 to 2 spoonfuls of the chicken mixture in the bottom of a warm taco shell.
Top with a generous sprinkle of chopped tomato, shredded iceberg and grated Cheddar cheese.
Serve with tomato salsa and enjoy!

TERRIFIC MP! What a GREAT combo! I used turkey and chicken mince, with the chorizo chopped finely, rather than minced - it was getting caught in my mixer blades!! I served this with Taco Baskets - that's all I had to hand, and Malcolm and I had THREE each for lunch!! A wonderful recipe for an alternative taco filling - VERY much enjoyed! Made for the Aussie Swap - SUBLIME my dear! FT:-) NB: I used grated gruyere cheese, my Cheddar had disappeared after I went to bed??! (I KNOW who had it!!)
