Ground Chicken Tacos with Creamy Salsa

Recipe Description

I love tacos and I think these Ground Chicken Tacos with Creamy Salsa are as good as some restaurant tacos I’ve tasted! I love to make these tacos for friends because not only do they taste absolutely delicious, they are super simple to make too! When I make these, I place everything in the center of the table and let everyone build their own taco!

Do you make your own salsa? Recently I was speaking with a friend he told me he felt it wasn’t worth the hassle and he prefers to buy salsa from a store. I challenged him to try my creamy salsa recipe. He did and now he vows he’ll never buy from the store again! I’m including this life changing salsa recipe here for you!

To make Ground Chicken Tacos with Creamy Salsa, you will need the following ingredients:

OMG, these Ground Chicken Tacos with Creamy Salsa are the bomb! I threw a taco night last week, and my buds were blown away! It's so easy to whip up and the flavors just pop. My buddy even ditched store-bought salsa for my creamy version! Total win! 🎉🌮
