Equipment

  • 1 medium bowl
  • 1 skillet

Ingredients

  • lb organic chicken breast
  • ½ packet taco seasoning
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 2 oz cream cheese
  • 1 small organic onion finely chopped or 1/2 large
  • 3 jalapenos finely chopped
  • 3 bacon strips finely chopped
  • 2 cup sharp cheddar cheese
  • 10 small tortilla shells I like J and J co.
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, combine 1½ lb organic chicken breast cubed into small pieces. Add in ½ packet taco seasoning. Toss until coated.
  • Heat a skillet to medium and add in the chopped 3 bacon strips. Cook until slightly crisp and remove the bacon bits.
  • Wipe the skillet clean with paper towel. Be careful that you don't burn yourself. You can remove from heat wait until it cools to do this.
  • After the skillet is wiped clean add in 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil. Let the skillet get hot.
  • Add in 3 jalapenos finely chopped and 1 small organic onion finely chopped.
  • After about 3 to 5 minutes (with frequent stirring) add in the chicken coated in taco seasoning. Cook until the chicken is cooked through (about 10-12 minutes).
  • Add in the ¼ cup sour cream, 2 oz cream cheese and add the bacon back in.
  • Lay a taco shell flat, place the filling on ½ of the taco, sprinkle about 2 tbsp of cheese on top (more if you are a cheese lover).
  • Fold in half and place on a parchment lined baking sheet (that has been coated with extra virgin olive oil.
  • Continue doing this with all of the taco shells until they are full. You should get about 10.
  • Spray the tops of the shells with extra virgin olive oil and place in the oven at 425℉ until they are baked through and the shells are crisp- about 8-10 minutes.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping choices.
