Chicken Tacos

Chicken tacos are a popular, flexible Mexican entrée perfect for a quick dinner or a large gathering. Whether served in a hard shell or soft, corn or flour tortilla, they usually feature spiced, marinated poultry chunks adorned with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and other fresh toppings. Cooking chicken tacos at home allows you to experiment with endless flavor variations. You can dress them up with passion fruit salsa, avocado, or lime-infused sour cream. For the health-conscious, lean chicken is a great protein source, and using whole-grain tortillas with plenty of vegetables ensures balanced nutrition.

Expiration & Storage Tips
When does Chicken Tacos expire?
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.
How do you tell if Chicken Tacos is bad?
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.
Tips for storing Chicken Tacos to extend shelf life
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.
