Notes

  • Tip 1: You can use any chicken you have on hand; boneless chicken breasts, chicken thighs, or chicken tenderloins all work great.
  • Tip 2: If you are worried about the heat, use mild salsa. You can also kick it up with spicy salsa or fresh jalapeños.
  • Tip 3: Yes! You can freeze the chicken taco meat. Cool it to room temperature and store in freezer bags for up to 4 months.
  • Tip 4: Store leftover chicken taco meat in an airtight container in the refrigerator; leftovers are great in chicken enchiladas or on nachos.
  • Tip 5: Here is our recipe for Homemade Taco Seasoning made with chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, oregano, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper.
