Extra Information:

• Chicken taco seasoning is generally a bit milder than beef taco seasoning, since chicken takes on the flavor of the seasoning very easily. If you want a spicier taco, you can use a hotter taco seasoning mix or add a few dashes of hot sauce to the chicken mixture.
• If you don’t have hard taco shells, you can use soft taco shells, tortillas, or even pita bread.
• Baked chicken tacos are a great meal for busy weeknights. They’re easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Serve them with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
