Cinco de Mayo is just around the corner and we are getting ready to celebrate with these Green Chili Chicken Taco Boats!
I can hardly believe it is almost May! Where has 2017 gone?
This year is just flying by. I am doing my best to keep up with it!
We love celebrating Cinco de Mayo and celebrating the Mexican armies unlikely defeat for French forces.
It’s a double holiday to celebrate, because my husband was born on May 5th too!
He is totally okay with us celebrating both holidays together as he is a huge fan of Mexican cuisine.
I make sure my pantry is always stocked with Old El Paso products from Walmart. There are so many delicious recipes I can pull together in a snap with their refried beans, enchilada sauces, seasoning packet, taco boats, taco shells, and more!
We have tacos at least once a week and my favorite dish to make for a crowd is layered enchiladas.
This Green Chili Chicken Taco Boats recipe was inspired by our love of tacos and enchiladas.
I can’t wait to serve our friends and family these delicious green chili chicken taco boats at our celebration. I know they will be a new favorite and make it into our weekly dinner menu too.
We have become obsessed with the Old El Paso taco boats. They are so easy for the kids to eat and perfect for holding all the toppings Jon and I can pile on!

These look so good. I am loving the taco boats. I think they are the best thing ever.
Ooh, these rock! Great idea! I’m going to have to pick up some of those taco boats the next time we’re craving tacos.
These are sure to be a hit with my kids. I will have to get the ingredients I need to make these for dinner this week.

I love this meal idea! We do tacos a lot but this is a great alternative for the classic. Thanks for the yummy idea!
I’ve never seen these little taco boats before but holy cow they look delicious. I can think of so many little yummy scrumptious things I’d like to put inside!
I know what I’m making for dinner! Seriously these look so delicious!!! I know my whole family would love them!
These look delicious! I’ve never heard of taco boats before so I know I’ve got to try this recipe. My 2- and 4-year olds would love to have tacos in boat form!
I loved this recipe so much that I’ve made it TWICE.
The first time I made them on 5/5/17, my grocery store was out of shredded lettuce and sour cream (modern cinco de mayo probs lol) but they were still amazing! I just made them last night and had everything I needed! Thanks for this awesome twist on taco boats 😀
Chanel! That makes me so happy! We love this recipe too. On my menu for dinner this week! 😉
