I typically make a big batch and some of us will eat them as the traditional chicken tacos while the others will take a taco salad approach. If I am trying to be especially healthy then I eat mine rolled in iceberg lettuce like a chicken lettuce taco! Honestly the possibilities are endless. One thing is for sure though, everybody loves this salsa chicken, even my pickiest eaters.

Move over Cafe Rio. These things were better than my sisters quinceanera.
definately delicious
Thank you so much!
Thanks it looks yummy I love cooking
I buy BIG BIG containers of Salsa and Taco seasoning. So is it like a 1/4 of taco seasoning in a packet and like a 650ml Jar of salsa?
Honestly I am pretty approximate with this recipe! If you just sprinkle a bit of taco seasoning over the top (maybe two or three tablespoons) and then probably two cups ish of salsa. You just want to make sure all the chicken is coated! Hope that helps :)
Definitely a must try and I love the nacho idea.
Have a great weekend.
