🌮 Jalapeno Cheddar Chicken Tacos: A Weeknight Dinner Guide

This recipe is wonderfully customizable and uses ingredients you probably already have in your pantry. It’s cheesy, crunchy, and absolutely addictive!

Ingredients You'll Need (Yields 4-6 Servings):

• 8 Maria & Ricardo’s Organic White Corn Tortillas
• 2 tbsp. Olive Oil
• 1 1/2 lbs. Chicken, boneless and skinless, sliced into strips
• 1/2 medium Yellow Onion, finely chopped
• 3 Garlic Cloves, minced
• 1 tbsp. Chili Powder
• 1 tsp. Ground Cumin
• 1 tsp. Salt
• 3/4 cup Red Enchilada Sauce
• 2 cups Shredded Mexican Cheese (Cheddar blend recommended)
• 3 Jalapenos, thinly sliced
• White Onion, thinly sliced (for topping)
• Fresh Cilantro, chopped (for topping)

Step-by-Step: Making the Perfect Taco

1. Prep the Chicken: In a large skillet, brown the chicken strips in a little olive oil. Once cooked through, remove them and set them aside.
2. Build the Filling: In the same pan, sauté the chopped onion until soft. Add the minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, and red enchilada sauce. Bring it to a simmer and pour the cooked chicken back into the sauce mixture, letting it warm through and thicken slightly.
3. Prep the Tortillas: While the filling simmers, heat the corn tortillas on a hot griddle or dry skillet. Once warmed, brush them lightly with a little olive oil and red enchilada sauce to prevent drying.
4. Assemble and Crisp: Scoop the chicken mixture onto the warm tortillas. Top generously with shredded cheese, sliced jalapeños, and a little more enchilada sauce. Return the loaded tortillas to the griddle, covering them slightly, until the cheese is melted and the edges are crispy.
5. Serve: Top immediately with fresh white onion, cilantro, and an extra sprinkle of cheese. Serve with your favorite toppings and enjoy this perfect weeknight meal!
