We found this recipe while looking for a recipe for a Spanish class project. It's become one of our favorite dishes. It's so good!

Yum yum yum!! I admit that I did make a few alterations...I used the remnants of a jar of salsa for the tomato sauce,adding a little water to let it down.I cut back back on the jalapeno a little,as the salsa was an extra hot one,and I didn't want to over do it,and I used ready made taco shells. These went down an absolute storm...the chicken was perfectly spiced and the guacamole and sour cream complimented beautifully. I am absolutely making these again...thank you for posting such a quick and wonderfully tasty recipe!! Made for PRMR.

I loved these...I knew they were destined to be good when I saw the pickled jalapeno in the ingredients list-one of my favorite flavors to season with! We served them on both grilled corn and flour tortillas-IMO the corn tortillas really complimented the chicken filling. Thanks for posting- will now be keeping 8 oz cans of tomato sauce in the pantry as a staple:)
