Hola Amigos! I am craving for some Mexican food right now and one of the easiest dish I know is of course TACOS! Not to mention Easy Chicken Tacos. I am trying to avoid red meat lately so I used ground Chicken instead of Beef or Pork. This is an easy version of Chicken Tacos. The nice thing about tacos is that you will only need to cook the meat the rest can be raw! And if you are wondering about the plate, yes I am using my Christmas plates, I made this during the Christmas season. Now, for those people who are on the go, this is the perfect way to have a simple taco while listening to some Mexican music, or watching your favorite Latin Telenovela. This recipe has lesser ingredients, but the flavor will still be delightful. This is an easy recipe that even young kids can help in making it. Let's start making this easy chicken tacos!
