Ingredients:
For the tacos:
- 2 large onions, chopped
- 2 (1.13 ounce) packages taco seasoning mix
- 1/4 cup + 6 tablespoons Country Crock® Original Spread, divided
- 6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 2 (4 ounce) cans chopped mild chiles, drained

- 12 corn tortillas
For topping:
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 bunch cilantro, chopped
- 2 limes, cut into wedges
- 1 avocado, sliced
Directions:
To make the chicken:
- In a large skillet, over medium-low heat, melt ¼ c. of Country Crock®. Add onions and a large pinch of salt. Sweat onions down until they are translucent and broken down, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add minced garlic & cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add cans of chopped chilies and stir. Reduce heat to low.
- In a small separate bowl, melt ¾ c. Country Crock in the microwave, about 30 seconds. Add in your taco seasoning packets. Stir until saucy.
- Add chicken to the pan, stir until incorporated. Stir in Crock & seasoning sauce. Turn off heat. Top with optional grated lime zest. HOT TIP: Continue making this recipe with half the cooked chicken. Cool and store the remaining half for tomorrow’s Chicken Tortilla Soup recipe!
- Heat tortillas using one of the following methods:
- Wrap in tin foil and put oven at 300 F and leave for 10-15 minutes.
- Place tortillas on a plate and cover with a damp paper towel, heat in microwave for 30 seconds.
- If you have a gas stove, turn the flames onto high heat. place an individual tortilla directly on the stovetop and flip until warm and slightly charred. About 10-15 seconds per side.
Assemble tacos:
- Plate tortillas, top with chicken mixture.
- Allow each family member to make it their own with sour cream, cilantro, fresh lime, avocado, and any other favorite taco toppings!
