Taco Tuesday just got a little bit better, friends!  I committed to using my cast iron skillets more this year and I plan on doing just that.  These Skillet Chicken Tacos are easy to make and packed with flavor.  A new family favorite might be in the works with these chicken tender tacos and cabbage slaw!

Whether you call them Skillet Chicken Tacos, Ranch Chicken Tacos or Chicken Tender Tacos -- this recipe will not disappoint! Paired with a tangy slaw and avocado, these tacos are packed with flavor. And did I mention easy? livelaughrowe.comSkillet Chicken Tacos

I’m a taco fanatic.  Seriously, tacos could be on the menu a couple times a week for me.  From a soft taco with ground beef or turkey, to something as simple as a adding some refried beans and all the fixings.  Okay, maybe it’s safe to say I just love Mexican food too.  HA!

Steve (the hubby) likes tacos too, but I’ve learned that refried beans are big fat no-no.  Anything other than that is fair game — so tacos make an appearance often.

Growing up, taco nights were a big deal.  We all loved tacos.  Plus, mom would make homemade soft tacos on the crepe maker too. It was more like a taco bar — and it was DELICIOUS!

All of the yummy toppings.  There is something so delicious about the combination of cheese, lettuce, tomato, sour cream, and black olives.  Those were our go-to toppings.

Whether you call them Skillet Chicken Tacos, Ranch Chicken Tacos or Chicken Tender Tacos -- this recipe will not disappoint! Paired with a tangy slaw and avocado, these tacos are packed with flavor. And did I mention easy? livelaughrowe.comI’ve added a couple new taco toppings to the mix too — cilantro and avocado.  You’ll see these toppings on my Easy Chicken Tacos.  Oh my glorious goodness — sooo good!  I think I had some blander taste buds when I was younger.  As I’ve gotten older, I seem to have expanded on trying new things.  Woot!

Every now and then I’ll send a picture to my mom before it goes up on the blog —  for this one she said, “Looks yummy! We love tacos.  I’ll have to try them.”  Seeeeee, we love our tacos.

With all that being said, it’s safe to say that these chicken tender tacos were another tasty hit for us!  I hope you can say the same.  Enjoy!
