Tips
  • Use good quality chicken. The best chicken for tacos is boneless, skinless chicken breast or thigh. Make sure to cook the chicken until it is cooked through, but not overcooked, or it will be dry and tough.
  • Make your own taco toppings. There are many different toppings that you can add to your tacos. Some popular toppings include shredded cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, sour cream, and guacamole.
  • You can marinate the chicken in the seasoning for a few hours or overnight to give it extra flavor.
  • If you are short on time, you can use rotisserie chicken for your tacos.
  • You can also use ground chicken for your tacos. Just cook the ground chicken until it is browned and cooked through.
