Easy and Fast Soft Chicken Tacos

Submitted by Queen uh Cuisine

"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."

 

• Ready In: 20mins
• Ingredients: 9
• Yields: 8 tacos
• Serves: 6-8

ingredients

• 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! :)

Okay, this could easily become my new favorite weeknight meal. In my opinion, buying the roasted deli chicken makes all the difference in the world. The chicken was so fall apart tender, juicy and flavorful it just melted in my mouth. I LOVED how easy it was to put together and enjoyed the taste even more! Thanks for a great recipe and one I will be making again and again.
