I have to confess. I'm not the biggest taco fan on the block. I don't dislike them. I just like a lot of other foods a lot more. My family however, are definitely fans. So tacos make the menu once in a while, always of the beef variety. When I stumbled on a chicken taco recipe recently though, I was inspired to bring something different to taco night.

These were a big hit! Tasty and pleasantly spicy and much lighter tasting than their beef cousins. I served them with both soft tortillas and hard taco shells and wide variety of toppings (honestly, I think the toppings are really my favourite part of tacos).

I think part of the reason I don't like tacos as much is because of how impossible they are to eat and keep them in one piece. Maybe it's just me and I'm not eating them right :) Nevertheless, I prefer to make mine into a salad (since it's all going to end up that way anyway when I eat it anyway). I line a plate with shredded lettuce and throw the chicken or beef on top, with crumbled taco shells and assorted toppings and finish off with a big old dollop of sour cream. Works for me.

Either way you like them though, I think you'll find the chicken version a pleasant and tasty change from the ordinary!
