Chicken Nugget Tacos

A while back I posted a recipe for an Italian chicken nugget casserole, which had surpassed all my expectations. Since then, I've still been playing with ideas of how to transform boring old chicken nuggets into something more adult and tasty. These chicken nugget tacos are just that. Seriously, why didn't I think of using chicken nuggets in tacos earlier? It's so easy and so good. Now, this is more of an idea than a recipe. My favorite tacos are simple: chicken, cheese, hot sauce, onions. Sometimes salsa, sometimes not. But you can build your taco however you like.

Ingredients:
Chicken nuggets
Taco shells, hard or soft
Taco Seasoning, optional
Hot sauce, optional
Shredded Cheese, optional
Lettuce, optional
Tomato, optional
Onion, optional
Salsa, optional
Beans, optional
Sour cream, optional

Directions:
Bake your chicken nuggets according to package direction. Cut your chicken nuggets into strips or little bits. Toss with hot sauce or taco seasoning--or both! I tossed mine with hot sauce. Assemble tacos with your favorite ingredients. I then put mine into the micrwave to melt the cheese.

Enjoy!

Homemade Taco Seasoning

My mom gave me a recipe for chimichangas (I still need to play with that recipe a bit before I share it) that called for taco seasoning. I didn't have any on hand so I just made my own--I already had all the spices I needed in my pantry. I don't think I'm ever going to buy it again.

Recipe from here.

Ingredients:
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
pinch of cayenne pepper

Directions:
Mix all the spices together and store in an airtight container. I used a mini mason jar.

Enjoy!
