Chicken Tacos with Avocado Salsa
A few people in my family have special dietary needs, but luckily, these chicken tacos work for all of us. I toss up a simple green salad and have a meal we can all enjoy together. —Christine Schenher, Exeter, California

So quick and easy. Loved the avocado and tomato salsa.
The best!! Just a few changes... brown sugar instead of white. Added red onion, cilantro, salt and pepper to the salsa.
These were wonderful! I have more beef than chicken, so I made them with beef steak rather than chicken. The Avacado salsa adds so much! One of our new favorite meals!
The spices for the chicken are so flavorful and make the house smell amazing! The lime juice is what made the salsa for me, I could eat that all by itself. I doubled the recipe because our son came over to eat with us. Needles to say we did not have any leftovers. We ate this without the tortilla shells because my husband and I are trying to watch our carbs. He put everything on top of his fresh salad and loved it. Our son polished off anything that was left in the pan. Thank you for such a flavorful recipe. This will definitely be made in our house on a regular basis.
Quick dinner with lots of great seasonings. I needed to add more water when cooking. Everyone liked it well enough just not something they would request to have again. Great if you need to put dinner on fast though.
This is probably my favorite at-home taco recipe I've tried. I did add a jalape?o to the salsa.
Great for a quick, healthy dinner! However, if you had the time I think the salsa could have a lot more flavor just by adding some cilantro, onion, maybe a little jalape?o and salt. For additional garnishes for the tacos, we had sliced black olives, lettuce, onion and Greek yogurt (to substitute for sour cream). Like another reviewer, I did not have lime juice so I used lemon juice which was fine but I'm sure the lime juice would be a lot tastier :P Will definitely make again!
I found these to a be a great, quick dinner!
Very yummy! Loved the salsa. Will definitley make it again.
The chicken was delicious - it will be my go to chicken recipe for tacos even if I don't make the salsa.
