These Easy Chicken Tacos are my favorite choice of a quick and inexpensive meal to serve to my family!
There are a few reasons I like these so much! I always have chicken in the freezer, lettuce, tomato and cheese in the fridge and I am usually able to find a deal on tortilla shells easily so I almost always have those too!
With the way our household is with the kids working and going to college, there is always someone that is not at the dinner table. Chicken Tacos are something any of my boys can heat up and make in 5 minutes AND its a healthier option than frozen or processed foods.
The main cost of this meal is the chicken but the chicken goes a far way with all of the rest of the inexpensive ingredients that I have gotten close to free using sales and coupons. My ideal price for chicken is $1.49-$1.79lb and I load up my freezer when lower than $1.59lb. I can usually make these tacos for approximately $12 for 6 of us which is only $2 per person!
