- 1 ½ pounds ground chicken
- 2 teaspoons oil
- ½ onion, chopped
- 2 ½ tablespoons Taco Seasoning
- 12 tortillas or crunchy taco shells, warmed
- Toppings: shredded lettuce, shredded cheese, guacamole, jalapeño slices
Instructions
Prep:
- Chop the onion. You can use ½ cup frozen chopped onions or 1 ½ teaspoons onion powder.
Cook:
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the oil and the chopped onion. Cook it while stirring for about 2 minutes. Then, add the ground chicken and the taco seasoning to the skillet.
- Cook the ground chicken for about 7 minutes, while breaking up the chunks with a wooden spoon into small pieces as it cooks. Once cooked, drain off any excess fat.
- While the chicken is cooking, heat your crunchy taco shells according to the package directions or in the oven preheated to 325F for approx. 6 minutes or lay your tortillas flat on a baking sheet and warm them up for about the same time and temp. Prepare your toppings.
Serve:
- Assemble the tacos by filling each taco shell with the cooked ground chicken and your favorite taco toppings.
