Slowly cooking the chicken with the seasonings is the key to perfection with this dish. The chicken mixture also makes a great salad topping. —Nanette Hilton, Las Vegas, Nevada

Fast, easy and so tasty!

The filling is too dry and the Tortilla's need to be fried to a crispy finish to have any flavour.

I thought these were just ok. I've had chicken tacos seasoned differently that were much tastier.

This was good, but the chicken turned out rather tough. It did not travel well as leftovers for lunch.
