Jul. 10, 2007 - Chicken Tacos

Chicken Tacos Nikki Simcox This is a super fast and easy recipe . It uses the canned chicken (like tuna) that is precooked or you can use leftover chicken breast from a previous meal , just chop it up in the food processor .   2 - 12oz. Cans of chicken (or the largest size your store carries) or leftover chicken breast that has been roughly chopped 2 cloves of garlic - minced 1 green bell pepper (use whatever color you prefer) - sliced 1 small onion - sliced 1 container of sliced mushrooms ( I use the blue container you get in the produce aisle) (or use canned) 1 small jar of sliced green olives - drained 2 tbs extra virgin olive oil Package of small flour tortillas Salt Pepper   Drain the chicken well . In a large preheated skillet add 2 tbs of extra virgin olive oil . Add chicken , garlic , peppers , onions , mushrooms and olives . Saute until chicken begins to brown and veggies become soft . Salt and pepper to taste . Remove from heat . Place a spoonful in the center of a small flour tortilla and enjoy . (It may not look like a lot but you will be surprised how far it "stretches" . I just takes a little to fill the tortillas .) Thanks  - Nikki Simcox
