Wondering what a Taco is?

Tacos are one of the oldest Mexican dish which is made of corn and wheat tortillas (flat bread). Tacos come in different shapes and sizes. The one that I have used in my recipe are the corn tacos – one with the hard shell.

Now onto the recipe! They are already shaped like a U and can be served with a variety of fillings like minced/shredded chicken, beans, veggies and fish. These stuffed tacos taste delicious when they are topped with a load of garnishes like salsa, shredded lettuce, sour cream and onions.
Now on to the recipe!

For this recipe, I have used Swanson® Premium Chicken and Pace® to create a simple meal.

Why Swanson® Premium Chicken? Because they are already cooked, low on fat and ready to use for quick and everyday meals. Simply drain and wash the chicken. Shred into pieces and pour in the homemade enchilada sauce. Chicken is ready for filling.

Secondly, canned black beans are topped with Pace®. Pace® is made with handpicked vegetables and has a genuine southwest flavor that adds a kick to these tacos.

Finish these tacos with your favorite toppings and you are all set. To make it complete, pair your tacos with V8 +Energy® drink. It has just 50 Calories and 1 combined serving of veggies and fruits. Now that’s a yumilicious meal!These tacos are a great make-ahead dish. Prep all the ingredients like combining chicken with sauce, beans with spices and toppings in advance. When ready to serve, assemble everything in taco shells, top with cheese and bake. Love to see the whole family share everything on the table.

Somehow, I love my tacos as they are without sour cream and guacamole. But feel free to experiment and top these tacos with all the yummy toppings you like.

If you are headed out to your local Walmart, do check out these products. You will find Swanson® Premium Chicken in the canned goods aisle, Pace® in the Mexican food section, and V8 +Energy® drink you will find in the juice aisle.
