Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken I use lean ground chicken
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning * See notes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons water or as needed
To assemble
- 8 small tortillas corn or flour
- 1/2 small red onion thinly sliced
- 1 avocado sliced
- 2 tablespoons feta cheese crumbled
- 1/4 cup parsley finely chopped
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, add the ground chicken, salt, pepper, and minced garlic.
- Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the ground chicken mixture and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, for 4-5 minutes until browned.
- Stir in tomato paste and taco seasoning. Add a splash of water (if needed) to help mix everything evenly. Cook for 2-3 more minutes until well combined and slightly saucy.
- Warm the tortillas in a dry pan or microwave. Fill each tortilla with the chicken mixture. Top with sliced onions, avocado, feta cheese, and parsley.
Notes
My homemade taco seasoning mix- 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and salt to taste (I usually add 1/4 teaspoon).
TO STORE: Store the meat, tortillas, and toppings in separate airtight containers. The chicken will stay fresh in the fridge for 3-4 days.
TO FREEZE: Let the chicken cool completely, then store it in a freezer-safe container for 3 months. Let the chicken thaw before reheating.
TO REHEAT: Reheat the leftovers on the stovetop or microwave until warm, then assemble the tacos.
Tortillas: The ones pictured in this recipe are called 'street corn tortillas' which are smaller and, in my opinion, so much more flavorful.
