Expert Tips

Mild, medium or hot enchilada sauce varies the flavor—and the heat--of these tacos.

Fill tacos just before serving so the shells stay crisp.

Set out an assortment of taco toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped avocado and sliced olives.

I made this dish for my boyfriend and I. The chicken was tender and cooked thouroughly, but as for flavor, it was a little bland. I would probably try again, with a few alterations such as maybe a spicy taco mix or adding a few different kinds of peppers

made this for my husband and 2 boys (ages 4 and 3) and everyone loved it. didn't even put in the rest of the enchilada sauce or the green onions. just put the meat in a burrito with a little sour cream and salsa. it was a hit and even tasted better on the 2nd day. we'll be making this again!

Substituted chicken breast, meat came out moist. A little bland. would probably try a medium or hot enchilada sauce next time for added flavor. do not like to eat green chilis. used whole green chilis layed over top of chicken breast for flavor but removed prior to serving.
