Incredible and easy Chicken Taco Filling

It is no secret that we LOVE tacos in our house. Andy fries up the best tacos, and it’s one of our family’s favorite meals. One of the things I love about tacos is how much variety you can have with the filling. I love experimenting and coming up with different filling recipes, it keeps tacos interesting since we love them so much. This is my chicken taco filling – and it is truly magical and life-changing. I promise!

Changing up taco fillings and coming up with flavors on your own is much simpler than you may think. Once you know the most common Mexican flavorings, mix and match based on the meat you’re serving. The classic taco filling spice mix is based on the chili powder. This classic spice mix can be used with any type of meat, but since chili powder is a strong herb, it pairs especially well with strongly flavored meat like beef or lamb. Chicken has a more mild flavor than beef, so when making chicken taco filling, pairing it with just cumin and some oregano is appropriate since neither of those is super intense. Make sense? Pairing flavors in the kitchen will take practice, just like riding a bike. But once you get the hang of it – your world opens up to so many more possibilities with your food!

What is your favorite taco filling paring? I think this chicken taco filling has climbed the ranks to #1 in our house! We also love easy beef tacos from scratch {with zucchini}!
