Ingredients
- 1 lb (454 g) chicken breast
- Olive oil
- 2 TBSP (30 ml) of butter
- 1/2 tsp (3 ml) each of salt and pepper
- 1/4 tsp (1 ml) cayenne
- 2 tsp (10 ml) chili powder
- 1 tsp (5 ml) each of cumin, paprika, and dried cilantro
- White corn tortillas
- 1 cup (240 ml) Queso Blanco Velveeta
- 1 can Rotel Mexican Style Lime & Cilantro
Instructions
- Chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Melt the butter in a pan over medium-high heat. Sprinkle with salt, cayenne, chili powder, cumin, paprika, dried cilantro, and black pepper. Cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Pour in the Rotel (drain just a little juice from the top) and add the Velveeta to the pan. Mix well and allow the cheese to melt.
- Drizzle a bit of olive oil into another pan. Heat the corn tortillas in the microwave. Place a portion of the cheesy chicken mixture onto a tortilla. Fold the tortilla in half and fry until both sides are crispy and golden brown.
- Savor the tacos! They taste amazing with sour cream and Pico de Gallo!
Notes
- Marinate the chicken in a mixture of olive oil, salt, pepper, and spices for at least 30 minutes before cooking for enhanced flavor.
- Use a non-stick pan with a small amount of olive oil to reduce greasiness when frying the tacos.
- Add hot sauce or chopped jalapenos to the chicken mixture for a spicier taco filling.
