  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/2 cup pico de gallo
  • 1/2 cup from 1 bottle (9 oz) Old El Paso™ Creamy Queso Sauce

Preparation

  1. In 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add chicken; cook 7 to 9 minutes, stirring occasionally, until brown on both sides. Stir in taco seasoning mix and water. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken is no longer pink in center and mixture is thickened.

Expert Tips

  • Using preshredded lettuce and prepared pico de gallo saves time, making these easy nacho chicken tacos perfect for a quick meal on busy weeknights.

  • Boneless, skinless chicken thighs can be used in place of the chicken breasts. Be sure chicken is cooked through (at least 165°F in center).
