Freezer Friendly Chicken Oven Tacos
Tacos. We love tacos.
The boys devour them.
They love the crunchy mess.
They love the flavors.
They love to see how full they can make them.
I love the concept of making tacos in the oven, and melting the cheese over the top of the meat. Then piling on the toppings.
