These mini tacos are great for a quick and easy meal or as an appetizer. These little dynamites are my favorite because they are packed with flavor and look great too!

Good basic base. First time I made these was much better using highly flavored chicken taco meat..(chicken tenders cooked stove top with taco seasoning pack). This time I used rotisserie chicken (in pic) and really had to pour on the lime juice and spicy pico de gallo. I also just used avocado slices. As a previous reviewer stated..you definitely should use seasoned meat! Read More

Nice use of leftovers--I used cilantro lime chicken from this site. I liked this taco with its toppings as a change from the traditional lettuce, tomato, shredded cheese, etc. that I usually use. Read More

The recipe submitter mentioned in the footnotes that steak or pork could be used instead and that is what I did. I had leftover steak and onions from another recipe so it worked out perfectly. This is a good recipe. Basic but good. The one important thing to know is that whichever meat you use it HAS to be seasoned first. If you just boil a chicken breast in water and chop it up to use for this you will be very disappointed. I prefer using grilled chicken or steak that has been marinated in Sazon and Corona but any of your favorites will work. Read More

I like carnitas in my street tacos but the chicken worked well. Will make again when I have left over chicken. Read More

I couldn’t believe how tasty this recipe was and yet so simple. I was really just looking for an easy dinner, but I saved this in my favorites because I will be making it many times. My family loved it. I made it just like the recipe but added a little seasoning to the chicken as I cooked it. I rinsed the onion after I chopped it for a milder flavor. I loved all the fresh crunch of the onions and cilantro together. Delicious! Read More
