Rated 5 out of 5 by from The best! Great chicken tacos, we used hot salsa for a little spice. I also had several garnishes to add on top; lime, sour cream, avocado. We also added corn in with the chicken

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great beginners recipe! I made this for my boyfriend and I (I halved the recipe) and it tasted really good! Heres a couple things I did differently though: I added avocado and sour cream with the finished product I added mild taco bell sauce and a few sprinkles of hot sauce to the salsa when I was mixing it I'll add mexican shredded cheese next time!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy Dinner! I’ve made this several times for my family. We usually make nachos or soft tacos with it. I think the key is to use a salsa you really like. Store didn’t have my usual brand this last time and so I bought something else that ended up making it taste too salty. Use a quality salsa, homemade, or rotel!
