Chicken Tacos

I know I've cooked in the last ten days but it must not have been that exciting since I can't remember what it was...except for last night. This is an old stand by of ours. It's usually beef tacos but occasionally we do the old switcheroo and have chicken tacos. It's a nice change really. And the boys love it of course.

Last night it was chicken tacos using boneless skinless chicken breast, Old El Paso taco seasoning and shells. We had the usual toppings of shredded cheese, romaine lettuce, and green onions...I missed the fresh cilantro! I also got out my handy-dandy rice cooker and threw in some plain old white rice with a can of rotel. Once it was through I topped it with shredded cheese. Yum-o!

Now, The Hungry Man likes to take leftovers to work. He was quite excited about his leftovers this time...it wasn't the tacos. When we have chicken tacos I turn the leftovers into soup. Add some of the rice to the chicken, toss in some green onions, frozen corn, dried cilantro, cumin, and garlic. Viola - chicken taco soup! It's SOOO yummy. When we have beans with our dinner I throw those in too. Oh, and fo course, add water to make it a soup. Let it simmer for a few minutes. When he reheates it he sprinkles on cheese and a dollop of sourcream and has a side of broken taco shells. Mmmm....I'm getting hungry......
