- 2-3 teaspoons avocado or olive oil
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 2 heaping Tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1/4 cup salsa any kind that you love
- squeeze of lime juice
- salt to taste

Warm oil in a skillet set over medium-high heat. When hot, add the ground chicken and begin to break apart with a spatula. Stir in the taco seasoning and mix well to blend as the chicken continues to brown.
2-3 teaspoons avocado or olive oil, 1 pound ground chicken, 2 heaping Tablespoons taco seasoning
When the chicken is nearly cooked through, stir in the salsa, lime juice, and salt to taste. (I usually add about 1/2 teaspoon of salt, but how much you will want varies according to your preference and the type of taco seasoning you’re using.)
1/4 cup salsa, squeeze of lime juice, salt to taste
Reduce heat to low to keep chicken warm while you prepare lettuce, tomatoes, and any other toppings you like. Spoon filling into tortillas and top as desired. Enjoy!
tortillas, cheese, lettuce, avocado, tomatoes, other toppings as desired
- Make this really special by making your own flour tortillas. They're surprisingly easy and incredibly delicious!
- Some of our favorite taco toppings: avocado, guacamole, blender salsa, mango salsa, pickled onions, diced bell peppers, lettuce, tomato, Mexican cheese or crumbled Cotija.
- Nutritional information is an estimate based on .25 pounds of the taco meat only, because the nutritional content of different tortillas and toppings will vary so widely.
