Ground Chicken Tacos with Creamy Salsa

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!

Steps to make Ground Chicken Tacos with Creamy Salsa

1	Make the salsa	1h
Mix the tomatoes, red onion, jalapeno, cilantro, scallions, hot sauce, sour cream, garlic powder, and lime juice together in a medium-large bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
2	Heat the oil	1
In a large pan or skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
3	Sauté the peppers and onion	3
Fry the green and red bell peppers and onions in the oil until they are tender. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
