Ground Chicken Tacos

recipe homemade taco seasoning

chicken (or ground turkey)

olive oil

Tortillas

Monterey jack

Salsa

Avocado

And any other taco fixins you prefer.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.

Add the ground meat and sauté for 5 minutes and break it up with the back of a wooden spoon. Add all the taco seasoning and stir to combine. Continue to cook the ground meat and break it down with the back of a wooden spoon until it's fully cooked and no pink remains.

Once cooked, add 2 tablespoons of water and reduce to a simmer. Let simmer for 10 minutes.

Serve as taco meat with tortillas, shredded cheese, salsa, and any other taco fixings you prefer.

Super delicious, quick, and easy to make for a weeknight meal everyone will enjoy with no hassle!

avocado oil

chicken

Tablespoons taco seasoning

salsa (any kind that you love)

lime juice

salt

tortillas, cheese, lettuce, avocado, tomatoes, other toppings

Warm oil in a skillet set over medium-high heat. When hot, add the ground chicken and begin to break apart with a spatula. Stir in the taco seasoning and mix well to blend as the chicken continues to brown.

When the chicken is nearly cooked through, stir in the salsa, lime juice, and salt to taste. (I usually add about 1/2 teaspoon of salt, but how much you will want varies according to your preference and the type of taco seasoning you’re using.)

Reduce heat to low to keep chicken warm while you prepare lettuce, tomatoes, and any other toppings you like. Spoon filling into tortillas and top as desired. Enjoy!

Topped with a creamy greek salad, these easy ground chicken smash tacos are bright, flavorful, and juicy! The amazing feta cucumber sauce holds the veggies together so they don&#39;t fall out of the tortillas. Each bite tastes so fresh. The tacos are ready in less than 30 minutes, seared in a skillet or on a griddle.

Creamy Greek Ground Chicken Smash Tacos

garlic powder

oregano

onion powder

flour flour tortillas

lettuce

tomatoes

kalamata olives

Feta cheese

of an english cucumber, (grated and squeezed with a paper towel to remove some water)

sour cream

greek yogurt

lemon juice

dill

garlic, (grated)

feta cheese

For the sauce: Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl and refrigerate until ready to use. Can be made up to 3 days in advance.

For the tacos: Put ground chicken in a bowl. Add dry spices and salt evenly over the chicken and mix gently with fork or spoon to combine.

Portion the chicken out into 2 ounce portions, I use a cookie scoop to do this. Take one portion and using the back of a spoon, spread onto each tortilla, ensuring that the chicken goes all the way out to the edge.

Spreading ground chicken onto the tortillas

Spreading chicken onto tortillas for smash tacos

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Add a teaspoon or two of olive oil. Then place one or two of your tortillas (if your skillet is big enough), meat side down, into the pan. Press down lightly with a spatula so that there is nice contact with the meat to the skillet. Cook for 3 minutes, then flip the tacos and cook for another 2(ish) minutes to make the tortilla golden brown. Remove from heat and set on cooling rack. Finish making as many tacos as you&#39;d like, or store the remaining meat in a sealed container in the fridge.

Take your chopped veggies and add to a bowl. Add about 3 tablespoons of the cucumber sauce and mix to coat. You can add more if you&#39;d like, until the veggies are saucy and creamy.

Wow!  These were great! Very quick and easy to make for dinner (with leftovers)!

Made these last night and they were fun to make... easy but super flavourful! I have seen "smash tacos" before yet have not tried! I love that it is ground chicken and maybe a bit less fat :) Thank you for the inspiration. I will 100% be making these often.

I love the fresh Greek twist and that creamy feta cucumber sauce sounds amazing

Omg
Made these last night and they are absolutely delicious. I used a few more cloves of garlic. Will be making these again and again. Thanks for this incredible recipe. I would give this 10 stars if I could!!

These were so good! Made them for dinner last night. The chicken was juicy and the sauce with the salad was a wonderful contrast of flavor. I added a little chopped parsley to the chicken mixture because I had it on hand. So very yum and satisfying!
