Chicken Tacos

First up, a family favorite from way back. These are not tacos, and they aren’t fajitas, its the best of both, so fajaco? Tajitas? I’m sure there are better names for it, but my family has always gone with chicken tacos. And they are SO easy, and you can make them even easier! Ok here we go:
You’ll need a frying pan, a sauce pan and a spatula or slotted spoon:
1 lb chicken breast
1 onion, small diced
1 pepper sliced
1 can of petite diced tomatoes
Ro-Tel
tortillas
2 cups minute rice
sprinkle cheese as needed
Super easy – Slice and dice the chicken breast then fry on medium high for maybe 10 minutes. I’m bad with time I typically go by sight and the sponginess as I’m pushing it around in the pan. Once its cooked through you add the fresh veggies stirring through out until the onions soften and become kind of translucent.
Then you add the tomatoes and turn the water on for the minute rice
When the water boils you dump the rice in for five minutes, continuing to stir your meat and veggies.
Then we do a taco bar and everyone fixes their own but the only CORRECT way (lol) to make Chicken tajitas (fajacos? I don’t know) is a thin layer of cheese, layer of rice, thin layer of cheese, meat and veg mix, fold and done.
Now, ways to cheat and make this easier
I sometimes will get a rotisserie chicken from Walmart, but even if I were to make one myself, I never eat it all on the first day and this is a brilliant way to use left overs.
Frozen veggies- skip the cutting, you can use frozen veggies, they even have a blend of onion and pepper. If you go this route start with the veggies and add the meat once the veggies are soft, you need to cook it some because there’s a lot of water in them so boil as much of it off as you can.
boil in a bag rice – skip the mess and clean up.
I don’t have a way to get the nutritional info on this, which means I should maybe have checked it first, but like I said, judge it by the taste, and its amazing. Anyone who makes this let me know what you add or take out to make it your own and what you thought of it. Til next time (when I will hopefully be more prepared) be kind to yourselves, and each other!
