Question 2

What kind of chicken is best for chicken tacos?

Accepted Answer

You can use any kind of chicken you like for chicken tacos, such as breasts, thighs, or rotisserie chicken. Chicken breasts are leaner and easier to slice, while chicken thighs are more flavorful and juicy. Rotisserie chicken is convenient and already cooked.

Question 3

What spices do you need for chicken taco seasoning?

A typical chicken taco seasoning consists of paprika (smoked or regular), chili powder (ancho or regular), cumin, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. You can also add some cayenne pepper for extra heat if you like.

Question 4

How long does it take to cook chicken for tacos?

Accepted Answer

The cooking time for chicken depends on the size and thickness of the pieces. Generally speaking, it takes about 4-5 minutes per side for thin-cut breasts or thighs on a medium-high heat skillet or grill. If you use thicker pieces or whole breasts or thighs, you may need to increase the cooking time or finish them in the oven until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F.

Question 5

How do you keep corn tortillas from breaking when making tacos?

Accepted Answer

Corn tortillas tend to be more fragile than flour tortillas and can break easily when folded. To prevent this from happening, you can warm them up before using them by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving them for a few seconds until soft and pliable. You can also lightly toast them on a dry skillet over medium heat until warm and slightly charred.

Question 6

When does Chicken Tacos expire?

Accepted Answer

Chicken tacos generally last for about 1-2 days in the fridge. If you've ordered them from a restaurant or have any leftovers from your homemade ones, it's best to refrigerate within 2 hours of serving. If they're frozen, they can last up to 3 months. As for an unopened package from the grocery store, it's best to refer to the use-by date on the packaging.

Question 7

How do you tell if Chicken Tacos is bad?

Accepted Answer

Firstly, if the smell is off and rather unpleasant, this is a key indicator that your chicken tacos have gone bad. The same applies to the appearance - if any parts of the chicken are appearing grayish or the toppings on your tacos are looking tired and wilted, it's likely they've spoiled. Moreover, if you've noticed any mold or strange colorations, definitely do not attempt to eat them.

Question 8

Tips for storing Chicken Tacos to extend shelf life

Accepted Answer

To prolong the life of your chicken tacos, there are a few tips and tricks you can utilize:

• Always store your leftover tacos in a fridge set to 40°F or below within two hours of serving.

• Wrap your tacos tightly in aluminum foil or store in an airtight container to prevent any air getting in, which can speed up the spoiling process.

• If you want to freeze your tacos, I'd recommend carefully wrapping them in foil and then placing them in a sealed plastic bag.

• To reheat your refrigerated or thawed tacos, it's likely best to use an oven or a toaster oven to help them keep their texture. About 375°F should do the job in 10-15 minutes! But remember, do not refreeze products that have already been thawed, as it can increase the risk of foodborne illnesses.
