Ground Chicken Tacos

Taco Tuesday just got super easy and nutritious! 

Ingredients:

1 lb lean ground chicken 

3-4 tbsps diced onion 

2 tbsps olive oil 

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tbsp tomato paste 

2 tbsps taco seasoning 

1/2 cup water

2 - 10" whole wheat flour tortillas 

Extras: lettuce or spinach, diced tomatoes, diced cucumber, shredded Habanero cheddar, and a dollop of sour cream or caesar dressing. 

If you'd like to make your own taco seasoning here's a link to my homemade taco seasoning recipe:

Heat oil to medium in a large skillet and brown the diced onion, salt and pepper 2 minutes. Move the onion to the sides of the pan and add the chicken.  Press to flatten and brown 2 minutes. Then flip it over and brown another 3 minutes breaking it up as it cooks. Once well browned add the tomato paste, water and taco seasoning and simmer until the water is reduced and you're left with juicy ground chicken taco filling. Lay whole wheat tortillas out and put down a bed of spinach (or other greens). Spoon the meat on top and add your extras. You may attempt wrapping these to eat but I preferred a knife and fork. Serves 2
