Baked Chicken (or Ground Turkey) Tacos

Well hello loves!!! It's been a HOT minute 2 months since I put a recipe on here so I figured it is about TIME! Not to mention Tuesday's dinner was freaking BOMB!  But peeps I have to be HONEST, I am NOT 100% comfortable in cooking effing Mexican food when I am literally ENGAGED to a Mexican!!! (SMH) I don't need that judgement, LOL!

That man can cook me some Mexican food.... like make you drool Mexican food. So I kinda hate that I no longer want to make my skinny "white" girl Mexican food, but let's face it, A LOT MOST of the time I'm home wayyyyyy sooner than him. The choice is make Mel's Mexican food when I'm craving it or no Mexican food. 

UGH! The struggle! You guessed it, I cave because girlfriend has NEEDS. ;)  We have been doing soooo flipping good with our eating and working out these last 3 months, so I'm very conscientious of the meals I plan out. Not because we are starving ourselves....hell NO! (I LOVE to eat!) Honestly we are feeling soooo much better with our eating habits and we both are in such good shape, it's CRAZY. The beauty of these little tacos though is that they fit in line with our meal plan we follow. (if any of you are doing portion fix this is the recipe for you) 

Super simple, super yummy, and NOT completely fall off the wagon bad for you!!! SCORE!

Give it a try and let me know how you like them. I have made them both ways shredded chicken and ground turkey and both are AWESOME! 

Oh and my hot Mexican freaking LOVED them!!! He wants them EVERY Tuesday in honor of Taco Tuesday! #LookAtMe #NoBigDeal

INGREDIENTS:

Chicken Breasts (cooked in crock pot and shredded)

1 tsp olive oil

1 jar of salsa (I used Pace Picante Sauce because I prefer that over chunky stuff)

1 packet of low sodium taco seasoning

1 box of Taco Shells (I used the stand and stuff because they are soooo much more convenient)

Shredded cheese (your choice)

Shredded lettuce

DIRECTIONS:

1. For the chicken ones I cook the chicken in my crock pot all day 

2. When it's done I shred it and then add the salsa and taco packet, mix well

3. Spray a glass baking dish with nonstick spray and then fill the shells with the mixture (if you are following the portion fix, you can use your RED container to measure the shell filling)

4. Top each taco with cheese (use BLUE container if following the portion fix)

5. Bake at 375 for 10 - 15 minutes until cheese is melted and browned.

6. Top with shredded lettuce

YUM!

Two tacos count as 1 yellow, 1 red, 1 blue, 1 green

Enjoy!!!! Don't forget to let me know how you like them!!! :)
