Baked Chicken Tacos

Baked Chicken Tacos
Print Recipe

Perfect for Taco Tuesday or any day! These super tasty baked chicken tacos are also very healthy. They are made with local organic chicken and heart healthy guacamole. They are topped with organic fresh veggies and served on oven crisped non-gmo corn tortillas. The chicken is baked or grilled with my Mexican Rub. This versatile combination of spices can be used for everything from beef, pork, chicken, fish, seafood, vegetables and beans. Topped with fresh guacamole, this complete dish satisfies while being a good source of protein, veggies and healthy fats. I also use the rub in my Rockin’ Fish Tacos and my Fresh & Healthy Nachos. Enjoy!
