Ingredients:

For the tacos:

  • 2 large onions, chopped
  • 2 (1.13 ounce) packages taco seasoning mix
  • 1/4 cup + 6 tablespoons Country Crock® Original Spread, divided
  • 6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 2 (4 ounce) cans chopped mild chiles, drained

  • 2 teaspoons lime zest (optional)
  • 12 corn tortillas

For topping:

  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 bunch cilantro, chopped
  • 2 limes, cut into wedges
  • 1 avocado, sliced

Directions:

To make the chicken:

  1. In a large skillet, over medium-low heat, melt ¼ c. of Country Crock®. Add onions and a large pinch of salt. Sweat onions down until they are translucent and broken down, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add minced garlic & cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add cans of chopped chilies and stir. Reduce heat to low.
  3. In a small separate bowl, melt ¾ c. Country Crock in the microwave, about 30 seconds. Add in your taco seasoning packets. Stir until saucy.
  4. Add chicken to the pan, stir until incorporated. Stir in Crock & seasoning sauce. Turn off heat. Top with optional grated lime zest. HOT TIP: Continue making this recipe with half the cooked chicken. Cool and store the remaining half for tomorrow’s Chicken Tortilla Soup recipe!
  5. Heat tortillas using one of the following methods:
  6. Wrap in tin foil and put oven at 300 F and leave for 10-15 minutes.
  7. Place tortillas on a plate and cover with a damp paper towel, heat in microwave for 30 seconds.
  8. If you have a gas stove, turn the flames onto high heat. place an individual tortilla directly on the stovetop and flip until warm and slightly charred. About 10-15 seconds per side.

Assemble tacos:

  1. Plate tortillas, top with chicken mixture.
  2. Allow each family member to make it their own with sour cream, cilantro, fresh lime, avocado, and any other favorite taco toppings!
