After having great success with cakes from Mix and Match Mama, I decided to try one of her dinner recipes. Oh my- these spicy chicken tacos were so good and you would never know spinach was in there! Not a fan of the leafy green, but know how important it is. It just sneaks in under the tastes of salsa and chicken. I will make these again and again!
Here is the full recipe, courtesy of Mix and Match Mama.
1 pound cooked and shredded chicken breast
1 jalapeno, chopped (remove the seeds)
1 package taco seasoning
1 box frozen spinach, defrosted and squeezed of all the excess water
2 cups salsa
2 cups Pepper Jack cheese, shredded
5 stand and stuff taco shells
Olive Oil
Olive Oil
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
In a skillet over medium-high heat, add chicken, jalapeno, taco seasoning, spinach and salsa and a tablespoon or so olive oil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer about 5 minutes.
In an 8x8 inch baking dish sprayed with cooking spray, line up your 5 taco shells. Place the chicken mixture inside the shells. Top tacos with cheese and place in the oven. Bake about 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Enjoy!
