Chicken Taco Bowls
PIco de Gallo
Ingredients
- 8 (6-inch) corn tortillas
- Canola oil cooking spray
- 12 oz boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into ½-inch pieces
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 Tbsp canola oil
- 1 cup prepared green salsa
- ½ cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
- ½ cup reduced-fat sour cream
- 1 cup thinly sliced lettuce
- 1 medium tomato, chopped
- 2 Tbsp sliced ripe black olives
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Heat tortillas until warm. Coat each side of 4 tortillas with cooking spray. (Keep the remaining 4 tortillas covered.) Turn a 12-cup muffin tin upside down. Nestle a tortilla in the space between 4 cups to form a "bowl". Repeat with 3 more tortillas, making 4 bowls total.
- Bake until firm and beginning to brown, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Repeat with the remaining 4 tortillas.
- Meanwhile, toss chicken with garlic powder and salt in a bowl. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, stirring, until it is no longer pink on the outside, about 3 minutes. Add salsa and cook, stirring, until the chicken is no longer pink in the middle, about 3 minutes more. Cover and remove from the heat.
- Fill each tortilla bowl with about ¼ cup of the chicken mixture. Top with 1 Tbsp each cheese and sour cream, 2 Tbsp each lettuce and tomato and a few olives.
