Easy Chicken Tacos
Chicken Tacos are our family’s go-to meal when we’re craving something filing and hearty, but just don’t have a lot of time to spend cooking in the kitchen. We find these especially delicious during the spring and summer months, when we can top them with fresh cilantro and tomatoes from our garden. After a busy day of soccer games, baseball practices and swim lessons, these easy tacos really hit the spot! Serve them with a side of our Easy Restaurant Style Mexican Rice and our Restaurant Style Refried Beans, and some chips and salsa and you have a Mexican feast in no time!
Suggestions and Substitutions for Easy Chicken Tacos
To get more of that smoky flavor, marinate your chicken in some lime juice, a little vegetable oil and taco seasoning, then throw it on the outdoor grill. Slice up and serve in the tacos. So delicious!Or cook chicken on the stove top as directed in the recipe card below. The tender bite size pieces of chicken cook up in no time and absorb all those glorious taco seasonings as it cooks.If you don’t have fresh limes on hand you can use lime juice from a bottle. Fresh is always a little bit better, but regular lime juice works just as well!Feel free to swap out flour tortillas for soft corn tortillas or even hard taco shells.You could add sliced steak to make these Easy Summer Steak Tacos!Be creative with toppings; the sky’s the limit! We love fresh diced tomatoes, cilantro, shredded lettuce, cheese, avocado, sour cream or a dollop of our Best Guacamole Recipe.
