Calling ALL my Taco Lovers as these Loaded Crispy Chicken Tacos would make you want to make every day a Taco Day!!!

We looove Mexican food and taco is our goto recipe anyday or night but there’s one thing which has to be added to it – Pace®Medium Picante Sauce.

It’s a default from our kitchen pantry to parties. I’ve served numerous snacks with it including croquettes, nachos, pizza bite, etc.

We Choose them because Pace® has a bold kick of flavor and can take any recipe from ordinary to extraordinary in seconds.

So for our loaded tacos, I’m going to use it to make the chicken (instead of any other flavors/spices) and also add on our tacos later.

Ingredients for Loaded Crispy Chicken Tacos Recipe:

Pace® Medium Picante Sauce

Cooked Tortilla, use any flavor of choice

Chicken Breasts

Shredded Cabbage

Pickled Onion

Cucumber

Sweet Peppers

Shredded Cheese, I’m using a mix of cheddar + parmesan

How to Make Loaded Crispy Chicken Tacos Recipe:

It’s no secret that tacos are a favorite meal to serve for tons of families and the reason is simple – it’s super easy to make!!

And you can literally customize each and every taco as per the choice of your loved ones.

My tacos recipe is the same and 100% customizable, so to make it even more simple, I’ve divided the process into 2 Main Part:

Making the Crispy Chicken:

This is The Main filling for the tacos and my secret to making it extra delicious -> using Pace® Medium Picante Sauce to coat the chicken.

Seriously, this one trick was a game-changer in the whole flavor department here. It’s minimum effort and maximum flavor (Whooop Whoop).

1. We coated the chicken in the Pace® Medium Picante Sauce mix.
2. Then coated it with a mix of flour + bread crumbs + cornstarch (super crispy).
3. Then AirFryed the coated chicken but it can be easily baked (instructions in the recipe below) or even deep-fried as per choice.

Making the Tacos:

Once the chicken is ready, this part is even simpler, all you have to do is top everything on cooked tortilla shell.

1. We start by adding some mayo on the tortilla.
2. Then add some cabbage and place crispy chicken strips
3. Add some onion, cucumber and a tablespoon of Pace® Medium Picante Sauce (Hello Flavor)!!!
4. Then add more toppings like cucumber, sweet peppers, avocado.
5. Finally, sprinkle cheese and lemon juice.
6. Serve Fresh

I usually serve 2-3 tacos per person (adults) and I definitely and I mean definitely make some extra for parties as they disappear real quick.

So before you make these tacos, go ahead and buy Pace® – America’s Favorite Salsa for Tacos.

So whether you are doing Tuesdays are for Tacos or not, but do remember that Tacos are for Pace® !

I bought Pace® and all the other Tacos ingredients from our Local Walmart (pic below)
