Equipment
  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 Large skillet
Ingredients
  
  • 2 Pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs (cut into 1-inch pieces)
  • 2 tablespoons Taco Seasoning Mix
  • 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
  • 1/2 head Iceberg lettuce shredded
  • 2 Roma tomatoes diced
  • 1/2 cup crumbled Queso Fresco or shredded Cheddar cheese
  • Soft taco shells
Instructions
 
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the 1-inch chicken pieces with the taco seasoning mix.
    Mix well to ensure that the chicken is evenly coated with the seasoning.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet.
    Ensure that the oil is sufficiently hot for frying the seasoned chicken.
  • Once the oil is hot, carefully add the seasoned chicken to the skillet.
    Fry the chicken on medium heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the chicken is cooked through and lightly golden brown.
    You may need to cook the chicken in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet.
  • While the chicken is cooking, prepare the lettuce, tomatoes and cheese.
    Lay out soft taco shells and distribute the lettuce and tomatoes evenly among the shells.
  • After the chicken is cooked, distribute the chicken pieces evenly among the taco shells on top of the lettuce and tomatoes.
  • Sprinkle the crumbled Queso Fresco or shredded Cheddar cheese on top of the chicken in each taco.
    Fold the tacos and serve immediately while the chicken is still warm.
    By following these steps, you can confidently create a scrumptious Del Taco Chicken Soft Tacos meal in your kitchen.
    Enjoy the tender, flavorful chicken in tasty soft shells and share this delicious meal with your friends and family.
