I am really into cooking with boneless, skinless chicken thighs recently and my girls have been really into tacos. I wanted a new way for the girls to enjoy one of their favorite dinners.
Here's my recipe for chicken tacos.
Add 1 tbs. of olive oil to a large nonstick pan that has a lid. When the oil is hot, add 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs. Sprinkle 1 package of taco seasoning over the chicken and brown for 1 minute and turn. Let the chicken brown for 1 more minute.
While the chicken browns, add 1 10 oz can of diced tomatoes with adobo seasoning and a can of black beans-not drained. Stir to combine and add 1/4 C. of water. You can also add 1 C. of frozen sliced mixed peppers or 1 C. of frozen roasted corn if you'd like. Cover and turn the heat down to medium low and let cook for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Before serving, break up the chicken with a fork to shred it.
Before serving, warm a package of flour tortillas in the oven at 500 covered in aluminum foil for 2-3 minutes. If you're in a real pinch, you can also pop them in the microwave, but this hardens them up rather quickly. A few slices of fresh avocado would be delicious on these healthy chicken tacos!
I added a squeeze of lime and some fresh cilantro leaves to my chicken tacos, but the girls ate theirs up with a little shredded cheese.
