Ingredients
Scale
- 1 Tbsp of olive oil
- 1 small white onion, diced
- 1 jalapeño pepper, diced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp chili pepper
- 3 Tbsp tomato paste
- 1 C salsa of choice
- 1 bunch of boston lettuce
- 2 1/2 C refried beans
- Favorite taco toppings such as cheese, cilantro, lime juice, jalapeños, etc.
Instructions
- Heat a medium-sized pan over medium heat and add in 1 Tbsp olive oil. Add in 1 small white diced onion and 1 diced jalapeño and cook for about 5 minutes, or until onions are soft. Add in 1 minced garlic clove and continue to cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently. Transfer mixture into a bowl.
- In the same pan, add in 1 lb ground chicken and cook for 8-10 minutes while breaking into small pieces. Once the chicken is no longer pink, add in 1 tsp chili powder and 1 tsp cumin. Add the onion mixture back into the pan.
- Add in 3 Tbsp tomato paste and 1 C salsa. Mix together and reduce heat to medium-low. Continue to cook for an additional 8 minutes until sauce thickens, stirring frequently.
- Spoon 1/4 C warmed fat-free refried beans into a boston lettuce leaf, top with chicken mixture and your favorite taco toppings! I used cojita cheese, cilantro and lime juice. You could also use more salsa, jalapeños, tomatoes, or avocados.
- Enjoy!
Notes
To reheat, microwave refried beans and chicken mixture together for about 1 minute before assembling tacos.
