Crispy Chicken Tacos
These Crispy Chicken Tacos are so simple to make. They are drizzled with a delicious homemade Avocado Dressing that helps make this recipe taste outstanding! It is perfect for lunch and/or dinner and will become a new favorite.
I am all about quick and easy meals lately. Recipes I can start ahead of time, forget about until dinner time and is ready in less than 30 minutes once I start. Life is crazy between kids in school, a little baby, extra curricular activities and homework. Dinner needs to be thrown together fast. The thing I love about this recipe is I start it while the kids are at school. I throw the chicken in the fridge to marinate while they are gone and quickly whip it up when dinner time rolls around.
The Avocado Dressing helps make this recipe DELICIOUS! My whole family loves these tacos. They are going to become a staple in my home.
