Shredded Mexican Chicken Tacos

Ok, these tacos are amazing! I will be making these again and again.




1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1 (4 ounce) can tomato sauce
1/4 cup salsa
1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning or 2 1/2 tablespoons homemade taco seasoning
2 garlic cloves; minced
1 teaspoon chili powder
Hot sauce (to taste)
Avocado; diced
Cherry tomatoes; chopped
Shredded Mexican blend cheese
Romaine lettuce; chopped
Corn taco shells

In a medium sauce pan, add chicken breasts and tomato sauce. Bring to a boil; add salsa, taco seasoning, garlic and chili powder. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.

Start pulling chicken apart with 2 forks until shredded. Cover and cook for another 5-10 minutes. Add hot sauce to taste. You can also add a little water if sauce is too thick. Cook until chicken is fully cooked.

Prepare tacos and enjoy!

  5. Hey there! Great post, love chicken tacos :) If you're ever looking for an incredibly easy, no time, chicken taco recipe here's a good one:

    You need a crockpot.
    3 frozen chicken breasts
    1 can of rotel (or any brand of diced chilies and tomatoes)
    1 package of taco seasoning

    Put the 3 frozen chicken breasts in the crock
    In a bowl mix the rotel and seasoning & spread all over the frozen chicken breasts.
    Cook on low for 6 hours. Sometimes it takes a bit longer if you're using large chicken breasts.

    Pull apart with fork...voila!

    Hope you enjoy!!
