CHICKEN SOFT TACOS



Chicken Soft Tacos image

My family loves these tacos. The chicken filling cooks in the slow-cooker, so it's convenient to throw it together before I leave for work. At the end of the day, I just have to roll it up in a soft taco shell with the remaining ingredients and dinner's ready in minutes. The chicken also makes a great topping for salad. -Cheryl Newendorp, Pella, Iowa

HOMEMADE TACOS: THE ULTIMATE GUIDE | TASTE OF HOME

From tasteofhome.com
Author Lauren Pahmeier
  • Start with your taco shells. Securing the perfect taco shell is the first step towards making an incredible taco. For many taco nights, it’s as easy as buying a bag of soft corn or flour tortillas (or hard shells, if you want to add some crunch), since most taco fillings pair nicely with either—though if your filling is particularly heavy, sturdier flour tortillas are the wisest choice.
  • Gather your spices and seasonings. The spices that you need for your taco filling depend entirely on the recipe you choose to make—but some typical spices you’ll see are cumin, garlic, oregano, chili powder and cayenne.
  • Pick your filling. When it comes to taco fillings, the sky is the limit. Beef, pork, chicken, fish, shrimp, tofu, jackfruit and vegetables of all kinds can add up to the perfect taco—it just depends on what you’re in the mood for.
  • Add toppings. Of course, your taco toppings will depend on the meat or vegetable filling you choose, but there are plenty of options that pair well with several types of tacos.
  • Serve with sides. What would taco night be without chips and dip? Our Test Kitchen tested several brands and found the best tortilla chips for dips and salsas.
