I can’t believe it’s almost February and time for the big game! While I don’t usually mind watching football, my favorite thing about the game is the food! Today I’m sharing an easy recipe for Chicken & Guacamole Baked Tacos.
The information and products for this post were provided by General Mills through Linqia. This recipe and all opinions are my own.
What are your plans for game day? If you are hosting a party and need something easy, I’ve got just the thing! I used Old El Paso Stand ‘n Stuff Taco Shells and Avocados from Mexico to create these Chicken & Guacamole Baked Tacos.
If you’ve been by my blog before, you may have discovered my obsession for avocados. It’s a food I actually didn’t like until a couple years ago. Now I can’t get enough of them! I knew a homemade guacamole would complement these tacos perfect.
Andrew and I rarely eat Mexican foods because he usually isn’t big on them. But this recipe was different! He loved it, and was talking about how good it was all night. The creamy guacamole adds so much to these tacos.
I always prefer chicken to beef when it comes to tacos, so I decided to go with chicken for this recipe as well. Plus, the chicken tastes amazing with the avocados.
This recipe is a lot of fun for a party, because each person can top their tacos however they like. In addition to the toppings I suggested on the recipe below, you could also use bacon bits, extra cheese, hot sauce, onions, or whatever you like!
There’s nothing better than an easy recipe for your game day party. And who doesn’t love tacos? Compared to all the other game day foods, this recipe is pretty healthy, too.
