Personally, I can’t get enough of tacos in every shape and form. That being said, when I’m looking for something simple to load up with all of my favorite toppings, I turn to these simple chicken tacos. While far from being authentic, these Americanized tacos load up corn tortillas with seasoned chicken and any variety of toppings to make your perfect taco. Pair with a classic margarita, and your Taco Tuesday (or Wednesday, or Thursday…) will be more than complete.
