Chicken tacos

I made these last night trying to recreate a meal I had in a restaurant. They were really good! Believe it or not they were great today for lunch too. They are bulked up with veggies and the bacon and grilling add great smoke flavor. My guess that is why they reheat well. We made seven tacos but they were pretty full so I bet I could get 8 next time. Sorry no photo this time.

Alambre Chicken Tacos
Serves 4; Makes 8 tacos

1 large (12 oz.) boneless skinless chicken breast
1 tsp. olive oil
Sazon seasoning, to taste
4 strips center cut bacon, cut into 1-1/2” pieces
1/2 green bell pepper, cut into 1/2” pieces
1/2 yellow onion, cut into 1/2” pieces
8 oz. sliced mushrooms
Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
8 small flour tortillas
3/4 cup Monterrey jack cheese, shredded

Preheat grill on high for ten minutes. Meanwhile drizzle chicken breast with olive oil and season with sazon. Lower grill to medium high and grill chicken 6 minutes each side. Remove from grill and cover with foil to rest. Place bacon in a skillet over medium high heat, when bacon begins to brown push to one side and add onions and peppers. Saute until they begin to soften and onion starts to get translucent, add mushrooms and stir in bacon. Cook until mushrooms begin to brown. Meanwhile slice or dice chicken and add to the pan. Top with cheese and cover to melt the cheese. To serve place a spoon of filling on each tortilla.

Or as a make ahead meal leave cheese off. Store chicken filling when ready to eat warm a serving of filling for 30 seconds in the microwave on High. Then place filling on two tortilla, top with cheese and place back into the microwave for 30 seconds.
