Pro Tips
- To ensure that your chicken is tender and full of flavor, marinating is key. You can use a simple marinade of lime juice, garlic, and spices like cumin and chili powder. Let the chicken soak in the marinade for at least 30 minutes, but overnight is even better.
- While any cheese can work in a taco, I highly recommend using a blend of cheddar and Monterey Jack. The cheddar adds a sharpness, while the Monterey Jack provides a creamy, melty goodness.
- Corn tortillas are the traditional choice for tacos. However, if you prefer flour tortillas, go ahead and use them. Just make sure to warm them up before assembling your tacos.
Variations and Additions
While the chicken and cheese are the stars of these tacos, you can take them to the next level by adding additional toppings and garnishes. Here are some popular options:
- Lettuce: Crisp and refreshing, lettuce provides a nice crunch to balance the flavors.
- Onion: Whether you prefer raw onion for a sharp kick or sautéed onion for a milder flavor, it adds a wonderful depth of taste.
- Salsa: Choose your favorite salsa, whether it’s mild, medium, or hot, to bring tanginess and heat to the tacos.
- Guacamole: Creamy and smooth guacamole complements the flavors of the chicken and cheese beautifully.
- Sour Cream: For a cool and creamy element, add a dollop of sour cream on top.
Don’t be afraid to mix and match toppings to create your own signature chicken cheese tacos!
