Chicken Sausage Tacos

Ooooo easy weeknight alert! And listen, a twist on tacos. Can you dig?

This is actually a very, very old recipe on my site from like, 1956. I took it, reshot it, revamped it, reglossed it. And here we are. The idea is the same. We just added panache.

Let us peepeth.

It’s taco night, but with chicken sausages. (le gasp!)

Listen, chachi, do not turn your nose up. This is good. And even better, the KIDS raved. You’ll just take some chicken sausages (whatever flavor you want, I went with bacon and pineapple) and sear them up. The flavor’s already there, so you’re doin’ zilch.

And then we’ll jush it with marinated tomatoes, a greek yogurt dressing and shredded lettuce. It’s honestly that simple.

I burned mine a little because I was shooting video at same time and they went FAST.

I’m still a good person though.

Let’s half some cherry tomatoes, thinly slice some onion, grate a garlic clove and drizzle some oil in. I (almost literally) make this every single day. It’s my go-to topping for breakfast. It does no wrong. Get into it.

And then our dressing is simply greek yogurt, cilantro, lime (or lemon) and a pinch of salt. It’s bright, tangy, and does the trick. Whiz her up.

That’s all she wrote. We’ll lightly char our tortillas and then just violently pile it all in. The sauce, the chicken sausages, the tomatoes and shredded lettuce. Truly unhinged.

For something so simple it has a LOT of attitude. And it’s not necessarily tex-mex flavors. That’s why I called it a twist. Remember when I called it a twist?

Remember?

When I called it a twist?

No?

Oh.

Weeknight magic.
