How to Make Easy Chicken Tortilla Tacos

• Heat a pan over medium heat and add the olive oil.
• Add the shredded chicken to the pan and sprinkle in the taco seasoning.
• Stir well to coat the chicken with the spices, and cook for 3–5 minutes until it’s hot and full of flavor.
• While the chicken is heating, warm your tortillas. You can use a dry skillet, microwave, or wrap them in foil and place in the oven for a few minutes.
• Once everything is warm, lay out the tortillas on a clean surface or plate.
• Spoon some of the seasoned chicken onto the center of each tortilla.
• Add your favorite toppings like diced tomatoes, chopped cilantro, red onions, and shredded lettuce or cabbage.
• Sprinkle some cheese on top for that extra yum factor.
• Squeeze a little lime juice over each taco for a fresh, zesty finish.
