Preparation

  1. In 10-inch skillet, heat shredded chicken, enchilada sauce and green chiles to simmering over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cook about 5 minutes or until heated through and chicken begins to fall apart in sauce. Remove from heat.
  2. Spoon chicken mixture into taco shells; top with onion and cheese.

Expert Tips

  • Queso fresco is a creamy, white Mexican cheese that crumbles easily and can be found in the cheese aisle of most supermarkets. Shredded Monterrey-Jack cheese can be substituted as well.
  • If a spicier taco is desired, medium or hot-flavored enchilada sauce can be substituted for the mild variety.
