So I made these a few weeks ago…and I’m so sorry it took me so long to get them posted. I used 2 of the smaller peppers from my garden, along with some of my cherry-like tomatoes.
And avocados. *swoon*
And I think these would be just as great with ground beef or ground turkey tacos. Love the different flavor and texture that the avocado chunks brought to these tacos!
Ingredients
2 chicken breasts ($1.66)
1 heaping Tbsp homemade taco seasoning ($.05)
1 Tbsp canola or vegetable oil ($.03)
2 small green/red peppers, seeded and diced from the garden
2 avocados ($2)
Handful lettuce ($.25)
Cherry tomatoes, quartered, from the garden
Taco Shells ($.69) Sale, store promo and e-coupon
Frozen corn ($.88)
Directions
1. Cut the chicken breasts into 1/4-1/2 inch cubes. Toss in a mixing bowl with the taco seasoning. You could certainly use cooked and shredded chicken too.
2. In a medium skillet, saute the chicken pieces in oil with the diced peppers.
3. Cut the avocado into 1/4-1/2 inch chunks and toss with the cooked chicken and peppers. Place into the taco shells and top with lettuce, and tomatoes. (Optional: Add shredded cheese and/or sour cream.)
4. Cook the frozen corn as directed on the package.
5. Serve Avocado Chicken Tacos with Corn.
Cost $5.56

I haven’t had tacos all summer. I think I will be making these for dinner this week.
I’ve been loving avocado this summer! It’s one of those things that I have had to warm up to!! These look great, thanks!
There are few things I like better than avocado.
After I read your recipe I knew I needed to make it that day. So, I added avocados to my list and headed to the store. Made them last night and WOW! They were good and sure hit the spot. Even my 8 year old who swears he doesn’t like avocados ate them.
Thanks for the great recipe.
Made these for dinner – they are yummy and SOOO easy! I opted for boneless skinless chicken thighs as they are a little more moist (and sooo much less expensive!).
The family loved them.
I made a couple of changes (because I can’t help myself). I cooked a little chopped onion in a small amout of EVOO until tender. Tossed in a couple cloves of minced garlic and cooked briefly before adding the chicken as directed. We love onions and garlic in everything – so this worked for us.
Excited to try other yummy food from here! THANKS for sharing
Nice and healthy. I LOVE avacados. say, could they be made into a healthier alternative dip option than say guacamole?
Chicken tacos sans avocado is the ticket for our dinner tonight. Thx!
