This is a great way to use leftover chicken. Leftover chicken taco meat is great for taco salads the next day. Adapted from Simply Simpatico cookbook Ingredients:
3 green onions, chopped |
1 tablespoon corn oil |
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded |
1/2-1 cup salsa or 1/2-1 cup taco sauce |
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies |
salt, to taste (optional) |
12 taco shells |
grated cheddar cheese, to garnish |
chopped lettuce, to garnish |
sour cream, to garnish |
salsa, to garnish (optional) |
chopped black olives, to garnish (optional) |
chopped avocados or guacamole, to garnish (optional) |
chopped tomato, to garnish (optional) |
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, saute green onion in oil over medium heat (5 minutes) or until tender.
2. Stir in chicken, salsa, green chilies and salt (if using) and cook for 10 minutes and bring to a simmer.
3. Prepare taco shells according to package directions (we heat them in the microwave for about one minute).
4. To serve: either place taco shells, chicken taco meat and garnishes in seperate bowls and let everyone make own tacos or place two tablespoons chicken taco meat in taco shell and top with shredded cheese and garnish with optional garnishes as desired.
