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.
  • Fold the tortillas gently and serve right away while they’re warm and delicious!

These tacos are quick, fun to make, and perfect for any day of the week. Enjoy!
