Instructions

1

Cook the Chicken

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the ground chicken. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes breaking it apart until fully cooked through with no pink remaining.

2

Season the Meat

Sprinkle the mild taco seasoning over the cooked chicken and stir in 2 tablespoons of water. Cook for another 2 minutes until the seasoning coats the meat evenly.

3

Warm the Tortillas

Wrap the small tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds until soft and pliable so they fold without cracking.
