I love all the flavors in this recipe for sour cream chicken taco filling. It’s super simple and a family favorite. I love Mexican food because I love all the fixings that go with it…lime juice, avocado, cheese, sour cream etc. Serve this chicken in tacos, on top of tostadas, in burritos or on nachos or all of the above!

I notice you use the tapioca a lot..do you have to add it? what does it do?
This sounds really good and easy! I always love when you can put the chicken in frozen 🙂
