Rating: Unrated

Taco Tuesday can be any day you'd like! Because these easy, flavorful chicken tacos deserve to be on steady rotation. For toasted tortillas, first dip them in cold water. Heat in a nonstick skillet over high heat. After about 30 seconds, flip. Remove from skillet and cover with a towl to steam for 5 minutes. The ideal tortilla should be soft, supple and moist with a hint of flakiness.
