The rice inside the tacos is a fun change from your typical tacos and the recipe is very flexible so you can change things up however you like.

  1. Valerie REVIEW:

    If you've read my reviews you know I typically don't cook with a lot of packaged ingredients like taco seasoning, etc. I really needed a simple recipe for a busy weeknight - but it had to also fill us up. I really enjoyed this and thought of lots of ways it could be varied to make again and change it up a little. You can add in lots of things like chopped green chiles, refried beans or black beans, change the salsa flavors (green salsa!). You can serve it in hard or soft taco shells - we used hard tacos. A couple of notes, however: The directions assumes the chicken is chopped/diced (never tells you to do that). Also, the rice needed more liquid, but that might vary by the brand of instant rice you use and how watery the salsa is, so keep an eye on that. Lastly, if you use a non-stick skillet you don't need a full tablespoon of oil so you can cut a few grams of fat that way.
