Easy Peasy Soft Tacos!

Got leftover chicken from dinner?

You too can have leftover chicken like this!!! Make it hot or cold your choice!

What you need:

Leftover grilled chicken, beef, fish, goat, bison, whatever (shredded, chopped)
Leftover salad mixings (lettuce, green onions, tomatoes)
Sour Cream
Guacamole (I used Wholly Guacamole in the off-season...it's pretty good!)
Salsa (I just bought this fire roasted salsa....mmmm fire roasted....way to go)
Tortillas (these were low carb too!)
Shredded Cheese

Step One:


If you have a GAS stove. Awesome. Heat up those tortillas right on the burner. I LOVE the little charred areas to add to my overall taco experience. The teacher here highly advises the use of tongs please!!





Step Two:


I say, make sure you have something mushy on the tortilla. Whatever you choose in whatever order, this is a must! You need something to help keep your 'fixin's' on the inside. Nothing is worse than to bite and it all falls out every which way.



Step Three:



The veggies would go great here. Your lettuce, green onions. I choose to NOT use tomatoes for I am using Salsa on this.







Step Four:


Add your chicken or any leftover meat really.









Step Five:


Last touches of flavor, guacamole, salsa, shredded cheese...
Now that the last additions are soft you must tuck your tortilla edges in well or OOZE city.

I toyed with the fact that perhaps I should have ended with chicken to help keep the smushy stuff in? Nah...it's fun licking your fingers!
