Chicken and Chipotle Tacos

Tacos are hugely popular for good reason – super tasty, packed with goodies, and easy to make.

Whip up the tacos and then add store bought salsas plus some chopped coriander (if that’s your thing) and voila! Better than take out!

To serve

  • tomato salsa store-bought

  • Place the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over high heat. Add the onion and salt and cook, stirring with a spatula for 3–5 minutes, until the onion is soft
  • Add the chicken mince and cook for 5minutes or until the chicken is browned and cooked through, breaking up any lumps with your spatula as you cook. Add the black beans, chipotle chillies and paprika and cook for another 2 minutes.
