Chicken Tacos

Are you looking for a quick and easy meal to make for dinner tonight?

These CHICKEN TACOS are the perfect choice!

For this recipe, I used Perdue 's ground chicken which is raised without antibiotics or hormones.

I also made my own taco seasoning, which has much LESS SODIUM than the store-bought kind. This taco seasoning is a blend of chili, onion, and garlic powder, cumin, ground pepper, and a dash of paprika!
