Chicken Tacos
Updated: Sep 27, 2020
I love eating tacos, and having the exact right seasoning in ur meat (or tofu) is the key to an amazing taco! I season my chicken the exact same way as I did for my chicken nachos, but with a little bit more spices. You'll see, it's gonna be a burst of awesome flavours in your mouth, and they'll leave you wanting more!
Let's get cooking!

For my garnish I used raw cherry tomatoes, purple cabbage, green onions, jalapeños, sour cream and cheese! I normally add Pico de Gallo however I didn't have the ingredients this time, but it IS an option (a very very good crazy tasty option!)
I hope you enjoy eating these tacos!
