Steps:
- In a large heavy bottom saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, then add the chili powder, cumin, paprika, onion powder, salt and pepper, stirring to combine.
- Add the chicken and stir to coat with the spice mixture. If needed, add 2-3 tablespoons of water to help distribute everything evenly. Remove from the heat and stir in the salsa.
- Serve tacos on warm tortillas with your favorite toppings! I highly recommend adding a spritz of fresh squeezed lime juice at the end.
- Optional Toppings: avocado, cilantro, white onions, red onions, shredded red or green cabbage, fresh squeezed lime juice, jalapenos (the site won't let me put this in ingredients).

Steps:
- In a large skillet, saute green onion in oil over medium heat (5 minutes) or until tender.
- Stir in chicken, salsa, green chilies and salt (if using) and cook for 10 minutes and bring to a simmer.
- Prepare taco shells according to package directions (we heat them in the microwave for about one minute).
- To serve: either place taco shells, chicken taco meat and garnishes in seperate bowls and let everyone make own tacos or place two tablespoons chicken taco meat in taco shell and top with shredded cheese and garnish with optional garnishes as desired.
Tips:
- For added flavor, marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- Shred the chicken while it is still hot to make it easier.
- Use a variety of toppings to create your own unique tacos, such as lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, sour cream, and guacamole.
- Serve the tacos with your favorite salsa or hot sauce.
- If you are using pre-cooked chicken, be sure to heat it through before assembling the tacos.
- For a healthier option, use whole-wheat tortillas or lettuce wraps instead of regular tortillas.
Conclusion:
Chicken tacos are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized to suit your own tastes. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a fun and festive party food, chicken tacos are a great option.
