1/2 head of green leaf lettuce shredded

1 tomato chopped

1/8 tsp. salt

1/8 tsp. pepper

1 avocado from Mexico

8 ounces of grated sharp cheddar

1/4 cup of sour cream

3/4 cup of water

4. Chop the chicken strips into small pieces.

5. Sauté the onion in 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium low skillet for a couple of minutes.

6. Add the chicken, salt and pepper.

7. Continue to cook until the chicken is cooked through.

8. Add the packet of taco seasoning from the kit and 3/4 cup of water.

9. Simmer for 10 minutes.

10. While simmering, bake the shells according to the box instructions.

11. While the above is cooking, prepare the sauce.

12. Combine 1/4 cup of sour cream and the sauce packet to make the mixed sauce.

NOTES

1. Sour cream can be difficult to spread on a taco. Mixing the sour cream and the taco sauce makes it spread smoothly! You may want to offer additional plain taco sauce for those that do not care for sour cream.
