Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Small mixing bowls
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Mini taco shells or small tortillas

Ingredients
  

  • 500 grams Ground chicken
  • 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
  • 16 pieces Mini taco shells
  • 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup Salsa
  • 1/2 cup Sour cream
  • 1 diced Avocado
  • 1/4 cup Chopped fresh cilantro
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions
 

Step 1-Prepare the Meat

  • Brown the ground chicken in a large skillet over medium-high heat until fully cooked.
  • Stir in the taco seasoning and a splash of water to distribute the flavors evenly.
  • “Always taste as you go—a chef’s best tool is their palate!”

Step 2-Assemble the Tacos

  • Lay out the mini taco shells on a flat surface.
  • Spoon the cooked meat into each shell, filling them just enough to hold all the goodness without spilling.
  • “Remember, it’s all in the presentation. Evenly distribute the meat for a photo-worthy finish!”

Step 3-Add the Toppings

  • Sprinkle shredded cheddar on each taco while the meat is still hot.
  • Add a dollop of salsa and a spoonful of sour cream on top.
  • Finish with diced avocado and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
  • “The combination of fresh and cooked elements brings a fantastic depth of texture and flavor.”

Notes

  • For crisper taco shells, pre-bake them in the oven for about 5 minutes at 350°F before filling.
  • If you’re not a fan of chicken, try using cooked and shredded beef or pork. It’s just as delicious!
