Today I’m sharing another recipe from my TV show “Kanta’s Kitchen” – Chicken Tacos and Fresh Guacamole. This is actually one of my favourite recipes of all time. Chicken Tacos are great for any meal and occasion. I particularly love serving these when I have friends over for ‘games night’ or for a chilled out evening. They are filling without being too heavy, they are delicious and they are really quick and easy to make. With a few simple ingredients, you too can enjoy this Mexican dish for your next meal.

Cooking Time: 25 mins
Serves 6
Ingredients
- Taco shells
- 900g chicken, diced (with or without skin on)
- 3 Avocados
- 3 Limes
- 1 bunch of spring onions
- Sour cream
- 500g Tomatoes, chopped
- 500g Onions, chopped
- 250g Cheddar cheese
- 250g Coriander
- Garlic powder
- Salt
- Paprika
- Pepper
- Vegetable oil
Method
Dice the chicken and season it to taste, with – paprika, salt, garlic and pepper. Mix well.
On a medium heat, heat up the oil in a pan. Roughly cut up your coriander. Cook half of the onions until they become translucent, and then add coriander and half of the tomatoes – cook for about 2 minutes. Add your chicken and mix well, cook until the chicken is white on the inside.
Whilst the chicken cooks, prepare the taco shells according to the packet instructions. For the oven bake taco shells that I used, I cooked them in the oven at 200 degrees C for 10 minutes.
Check that the chicken is cooked and if it is set it aside. Then prepare the guacamole. Cut your avocados in half, remove the seed and then scoop out the flesh into a medium – large bowl. Add the remaining half of your onions and tomatoes, add spring onions, coriander, salt and pepper to taste, and lastly add a squeeze of lime. Mash the mixture together until nice and smooth. Taste and add more salt and pepper if necessary.
Once the chicken and taco shells are cooked, plate up your tacos.
Serve
In each taco add the chicken first, followed by a layer of cheddar cheese, then a teaspoon of sour cream and lastly the guacamole. Serve your tacos hot and enjoy.

Quite a healthy meal if you ask me, what with a mixture of onions and avocado! I’d prefer skinless chicken, thank you…
It is not just a healthy recipe, i think it can make your tongue can ejaculate too.
…Only that I can not understand the language you speak, I could have agreed or disagreed with you. Now hurry back in your cot and enjoy your wet dreams…!
Sorry dude didn’t know your tongue is impotent.
Sounds like a nice meal although I am vegetarian. She’s also very good looking. A true beauty in all senses of the word. The only thing I would criticize about her looks is the hair. I don’t like it when beautiful black women want to look like white women by using white women’s hair on their heads. I feel like we don’t appreciate ourselves as a beautiful creation.
Is like us men wearing blond wigs on our heads …its a big turn off.
Kanta why use crusty taco shells instead of proper wraps …you are not doing justice to the colourful ingredients with that presentation. Kanta lets be serious okay?
Hi kanta, happy valentines.
Seriously i wouldn’t mind having a serious kitchen war with you.
Why not challenge yourself Kanta and MAKE the Tacos fresh. Those shop bought ones are full of additives.
Yeah I would like to cook with her, you know.
