Of course tacos make the perfect meal, lunch on the go or even a great game day snack as a DIY Taco Bar! Serve with cilantro lime rice or cilantro tomato rice and elote.
How Much Chicken for Chicken Tacos?
Since we add lots of toppings and cheese, I allow for about ½ chicken breast per person give or take. If you’re using shredded chicken I account for ¼ cup of chicken per taco.
How to Make Chicken Tacos
Making chicken tacos is as easy as 1,2,3! You need just a handful of ingredients and about 20 minutes! You can use taco seasoning on chicken, I prefer to make homemade.
Set out an array of taco toppings including Pico de Gallo and guacamole. Just let your guests assemble their own and then settle in for the big game!
Toppings for Chicken Tacos
The best chicken tacos start with the best toppings! The classic combination in the recipe below is my favorite but here are a few others to try.
Veggies: black olives, pineapples, jalapeños, avocados Cheese: Other kinds of shredded cheese like cheddar or Monterey jack Beans: Black beans, pinto beans, or refried beans Sauces: sour cream, salsa, hot sauce, and guacamole
What to Serve with Chicken Tacos
While tacos are delicious on their own, a tasty array of side dishes never hurt! Try a classic cilantro tomato rice dish or a delicious cob of Mexican corn, and top it off with a refreshing strawberry margarita.
