Tacos are a real favorite in many households and if you like your tacos creamy and cheesy, this is a recipe you have to try! Whether you pair them with rice and beans, your favorite vegetables or just have them as they are, these tacos are sure to hit the spot, especially when topped with lettuce, tomatoes or salsa and guacamole.
Use corn tortillas, heating them in a skillet in some oil, so they crisp up nicely. If you really aren’t into corn tortillas, you can sub flour ones but it’s worth trying the corn ones out – they might just surprise you.
Along with juicy chicken breast, you’ll need cream cheese, shredded cheese, taco seasoning mix, and the tortillas. The toppings are up to you or you could make a taco bar and let everyone serve themselves and choose their own toppings.
