Whether a busy school night or cooking for a crowd  for a Cinco De Mayo party on May 5th, I've got you covered with my Cinco De Mayo Chicken Tacos.

My family loves tacos and it's great for a quick dinner on a busy school night.

They are also easy to make for a party.  Setting up a taco bar is so simple and colorful for a Cinco de Mayo party. You can do so much of the prep in advance.

I guess that's why tacos are a go to dinner on soccer night. I can prep everything in advance and quickly cook the meat or chicken. 

I decided to try a bit of a variation on the standard beef taco. We love chicken so thought I'd mix things up with chicken tacos.

Be sure to read through….I have a giveaway and an Old El Paso coupon for you.

It's even simpler when you start with a kit by Old El Paso.

Ingredients
  1. Old El Paso Cruchy Taco Kit
  2. 1 pound or slightly over of raw chicken tenders
  3. 1/2 head of green leaf lettuce shredded
  4. 1 small sweet onion chopped
  5. 1 tomato chopped
  6. 1/8 tsp salt
  7. 1/8 tsp pepper
  8. 1 avocado from Mexico
  9. 8 ounces of grated sharp cheddar
  10. 1/4 cup of sour cream
  11. 3/4 cup of water
Also on OSH!  Semi Homemade Lemonade
Instructions
  1. Chop lettuce and tomato for taco toppings
  2. Peel and remove seed from avocado. Chop for condiment.
  3. Chop 1 small onion
  4. Chop the chicken strips into small pieces.
  5. Saute the onion in 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium low skillet for a couple of minutes.
  6. Add the chicken, salt and pepper.
  7. Continue to cook until the chicken is cooked through.
  8. Add the packet of taco seasoning from the kit and 3/4 cup of water.
  9. Let simmer for 10 minutes.
  10. While simmering, bake the shells according to the box instructions.
  11. While the above is cooking, prepare the sauce.
  12. Combine 1/4 cup of sour cream and the sauce packet to make the mixed sauce.
  13. Built your taco with provided condiments! Enjoy!
Notes
  1. Sour cream can be difficult to spread on a taco. Mixing the sour cream and the taco sauce makes it spread smoothly! You may want to offer additional plain taco sauce for those that do not care for sour cream.

Load the shell with a couple of spoonfuls of the chicken mixture. Then stuff with condiments of your choice. I served mine with chopped Mexican avocados, green leaf lettuce and tomato. Freshly grated cheese and the prepared sour cream sauce complete the festive dinner.

Also on OSH!  Lemon Meringue Pie

Thanks so much for all the comments and suggestion Thanks so much for all the comments and suggestions about my back yesterday. I did absolutely nothing and rested it. I slept better last night, and it's much better today. Last year on this very day, I posted our winter mantel. I loved this look. We enjoyed it so much throughout January. Keep on using your fresh greenery and twinkle lights if it makes you happy! Going through old ideas has me inspired to spruce up our mantel. Sadly, I haven't really done anything to it since Christmas. I went straight from putting up Christmas to painting the mudroom! Have a cozy evening! Visit the blog with the link in bio @oursouthernhome Just type in WINTER MANTEL in the search bar.

This New thrift store makeover post almost didn’ This New thrift store makeover post almost didn’t happen! It’s the first one of the new year! I was 1/2 way through the project while simultaneously painting the mud room cabinets. Down on the floor painting lower cabinets and twisted a certain way which did something to my lower back/hip. Ugh!!!! I got it done with the help of @ashlyn_little ⭐️ I couldn’t sleep and currently on heating pad. I’m going to be useless today! Any remedy ideas? I’ve got to get back to painting! I can’t take things in disarray. Lol! I’ll be working on the laptop in bed today I guess and checking out the other projects from my blogging friends! Link in bio and stories to the blog post!

Happy New Year & Wednesday friends! @bentleywestie Happy New Year & Wednesday friends! @bentleywestie  here! My grandma has taken a little break from social media and the blog to enjoy time with us before Woods and Ashlyn started classes back at Clemson. Personally...I’m ready to see her get out of sweats and put some makeup on! She did finally get all the Christmas packed away. With the tree gone, I’ve got my other bed back in the den! I think she’s coming off a sugar high. She mentioned that all the Hershey kisses were gone. Oh, well! Things are getting back to normal around here! Maybe they’ll get me a haircut!

I’ve been wanting a pair of sequin pants FOREVER I’ve been wanting a pair of sequin pants FOREVER! I wore them for the first time out Saturday night for our anniversary dinner! @lovechicos Now I want to wear them all the time! They are so comfy, stretchy, lightweight and just freaking fabulous! ❤️ Paired them with a sweater from @amazonfashion so it toned the look down a bit. I felt dressy casual. I’m also going to be wearing them with a white sweatshirt and tennis shoes! Life is too short.....So wear the sequins! Follow me on the LIKEtoKNOW.it shopping app to get the product details for this look and others http://liketk.it/34KjY #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKNewYear #StayHomeWithLTK

You’ll find me here all day in pajamas. That’s You’ll find me here all day in pajamas. That’s right! I’m not doing a darn thing today. I always lounge the day after Christmas to recoup after days of cooking. After Christmas is when I can finally relax a bit and enjoy the beauty of the season. I finally watched Little Women this morning and loved. Now I’m watching season 2 of Virgin River. How are you spending your Saturday? I’ll be getting dressed later this evening for our anniversary dinner. #31years tomorrow! 🥂

Today is the BIG 52! Gulp! It’s been a cozy Chri Today is the BIG 52! Gulp! It’s been a cozy Christmas Eve Birthday with my family. I’ll admit, it’s been a busy day of chores, but it’s been extra special because the kids are both home with us. Hunkering in for the evening. Here’s a tip when you’re wanting to feel put together at home. @spanx faux leather leggings work dressed up or down! Add a pair of @isotoner.us ballet slippers and you can fake a ballet flat at home! Over the knee boots and scarf are Amazon finds. I’ll be linking the look in the #liketoknowit app soon. Merry Christmas Eve!
