Chicken Tacos

Kids really like tacos.They can fill them themselves and can pick them up and eat them by hand.I like chicken tacos because they are less messy than ground beef. It is also a way to get some veggies into your kids mouths. Below is my rendition of this perennial favorite.


Ingredients: 1lb of boneless chicken breasts trimmed of gristle and cut
                       into small pieces
                       2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
                       1/2 jar of mild salsa
                       1/4 of a head of iceberg lettuce,chopped
                       1/2 carton of grape tomatoes halved
                       4 ounces of shredded Mexican cheese
                       1 avocado diced 
                       6 to 8 soft multi grain tortillas

Preparation: Heat olive oil in a large saute pan until hot but not
                      smoking
                      Add chicken to the pan and saute until juices are
                      gone and chicken is not brown
                      Add the mild salsa to the pan and turn heat down to low
                      As the chicken simmers, place the lettuce,tomatoes,
                      avocado and cheese in small bowls in the center of the
                      table
                      Wrap tortillas in a  moist paper towel and heat for seconds
                      in microwave.

                      tortillas
