Shredded chicken tacos make for a great dinner. I like that I can make up the meat in advance and then keep it in the refrigerator for easy re-heat and a delicious meal. I also like the texture of shredded chicken in my tacos as a nice change of pace to ground beef. We made these with soft shell tortillas tonight, but hard shell is my favorite. Leftovers can also be frozen and then used when you want to make a plate of nachos on a Saturday night.
