These tacos were very good! I used Bush Beans, but they were too sweet for my husband and he said next time use some spicy beans, but I really like the combination with these tacos, very good!

We had these last night for our May 5th Mexican dining celebration, and I called them green-go tacos. They were so fantastic that after one bite my daughter said it was a "do again" recipe. It didn't hurt that we have the BC calendar hanging in our kitchen, and this is the featured recipe (with picture) for May. I actually was able to make six normal size tacos instead of the recommended four. The only other change I made was that I didn't have chicken strips, so I had to actually cook some breast meat (seasoning while it cooked), and then strip them myself. Either way, this recipe was not extremely time consuming, and the result was amazing!

i made these using Bush Baked beans and its soo good and filling. I used Turkey Bacon as well . I also made a version using left over Thanksgiving Turkey Breast. I used Taco season ( not that much ) instead of Cumin , plus to make it a little more BBQed I added some BBQ sauce.
