Chicken Soft Tacos
Chicken soft tacos is another one of our pantry meals. We always have ingredients for homemade flour tortillas, homemade taco seasoning mix, and canned chicken in the pantry.
Homemade Taco Seasoning Mix Recipe
6 tsp. chili powder
5 tsp. paprika
4-1/2 tsp. cumin
3 tsp. onion powder
2-1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
Just combine all of the ingredients in a small bowl and mix well. I store mine in a small glass jar with a tight fitting lid. Old yeast jars are great for storing seasoning mixes since the brown glass helps keep out light.
This recipe will make about 21 teaspoons and about 7 teaspoons of this homemade mix will be the equivalent of a 1.25 ounce packet of taco seasoning mix.
Homemade Flour Tortillas
4 cups flour
1 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
2 Tbsp lard
1 1/2 cups water
Mix the dry ingredients together in a bowl. Cut in the lard with a pastry cutter until it resembles cornmeal. Add water slowly until the dough sticks together. Turn it out onto a floured board or countertop. Knead it for a few minutes until it's smooth and elastic. Then divide the dough into 24 equal balls.
Use a rolling pin to roll a circle of dough flat. Place that rolled piece of dough into a preheated dry cast iron skillet. Cook until bubbly and golden. Turn and cook the other side. Place the cooked tortilla in a tortilla warmer and repeat the rolling and cooking steps for the rest of the dough.
Taco Seasoned Chicken
1 quart canned chicken
7 tsp homemade taco seasoning mix
1/2 cup water, if needed
If there is plenty of liquid in the jar with the canned chicken you don't need to add additional water, but if it's scant, feel free to add more water.
Pour contents of the jar into warm skillet. Add taco seasoning mix. Mix well. Cook until chicken is warmed through.
When we serve chicken soft tacos in our home we typically serve it buffet style and set out tortillas, seasoned chicken, homemade refried beans, lettuce, chopped tomato, shredded cheese, sour cream, and salsa.
