Our blue corn chicken tacos are simple to prepare, colorful, and fun to eat. We started off with a crunchy hard shell taco base and piled on delicious shredded chicken and loads of flavorful veggies, black beans, and cheddar cheese. Then we topped off our tacos with freshly smashed avocado, a hint of lime, and a bold spicy sauce. This taco dinner is another great weeknight meal that you can prepare under an hour from start to finish. Enjoy all of the great topping combinations and let us know in the comments how yours come out!
