Easy Cheesy Chicken Tacos

Submitted by Susan2324

"This is a favorite of my family. Also a favorite of mine because it is very quick to put together. I modified it from a recipe found in a Land O Lakes recipe brochure. I use turkey instead of chicken because it is available pre-packaged at my local grocery store."

This was very good and so easy! I used a mild taco sauce and added some taco seasoning. The melted cheese is a great touch, and it helps hold the tacos together. My husband said it didn't even taste like chicken. Thanks Susan- Roxygirl

My son and husband absolutely love this! I included black beans to the additions. So simple and fast to make, it was a perfect weeknight meal. Thanks for sharing.
