Chicken Handling

Fresh chicken is always best. The chicken should have no odor. The skin should not be slick, and the flesh should feel firm to the touch. Always wash chicken prior to cooking.

Cooking Tip

Cheddar Cheese

Recipe calls for cheddar cheese. Substitute monterey jack or a mexican cheese for a different flavor to your tacos.
