Gluten-Free Chicken Tacos are a family favorite. Simple yet flavorful tacos are perfect for weeknights. Taco Tuesday never tasted so good. This delectable recipe is made with homemade Taco Seasoning. In fact, this recipe came about when my son was little. My kids wanted tacos but we didn’t have any ground beef. I decided to use chicken breast. Needless to say, I also wanted my kids to eat their vegetables. Hence, I added chopped bell peppers. Consequently, my son could probably eat tacos two to three times a week.

Furthermore, it can be made with a rotisserie chicken. Costco sells a whole rotisserie chicken for $4.99. I often purchase one to bring home and remove the meat. Once. stripped chop and continue with the recipe below. Consequently, Taco Seasoning is always in my pantry and is quick to make.
Not to mention the taco meat freezes well. Just cool the chicken and bell peppers. Once, cooled add to a quart or gallon size freezer bag. Write the date on them and place them into the freezer. Remove from the freezer and allow to defrost in the fridge. Or you could remove it from the plastic bag and place it on a plate in the microwave for a few minutes.
Serve with lettuce, tomato, avocado, radishes, cilantro, chopped red onions, or even with some cabbage.
Where does the time go? This year has been bitter-sweet as my youngest just graduated high school. Therefore, my homeschool journey has come to an end. My son doesn’t want to have a graduation ceremony as his sister did. My daughter and 4 other homeschool classmates from co-ops created a ceremony. Furthermore, it was attended by about 100 people. As a matter of fact, he doesn’t even want a party. Believe it or not, I want a party. My husband says we have to abide by his wishes. Congratulations to the class of 2021!
