Chicken. Tacos. Chili. Three little words to spice up your taco night! This is a different way to get your taco fix with zesty taco spices, tender strips of chicken and pinto beans involved in the making of this tasty chili.
Chicken is a nice change-up from the standard beef and pinto beans say tacos more to me than any other bean. Piled high with your favorite fixin’s every bite will trick you into thinking you’re eating a chicken taco.
You can throw in some corn or use a different bean. But I wouldn’t. It’s perfect just the way it is.
If your partial to those taco seasoning packages (I’m not) you can use one of those in place of the spices to save time. Although time isn’t an issue – this comes together fairly fast and is ready for the table in less than an hour.
