Ingredients:

Serving

1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 lb ground chicken
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cumin
12 taco shells
3 oz chorizo sausages, chopped
3 scallions, chopped
salt & freshly ground black pepper , to taste
2 tomatoes, chopped
1/2 head iceberg lettuce, shredded
2 cups grated cheddar cheese
salsa

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Heat oil in a nonstick frying pan.
Add the chicken, salt and cumin and fry over a medium heat until the chicken is cooked through, 5 to 8 minutes; stir frequently to prevent large lumps from forming.
Meanwhile, arrange the taco shells in one layer on a large baking sheet and heat in the oven for about 8 to 10 minutes, or according to package directions.
Add the chorizo and the scallions to the chicken mixture and stir to combine; cook until just warmed through, stirring occasionally.
Add salt and freshly ground black pepper if desired, to taste.
To assemble the tacos, place 1 to 2 spoonfuls of the chicken mixture in the bottom of a warm taco shell.
Top with a generous sprinkle of chopped tomato, shredded iceberg and grated Cheddar cheese.
Serve with tomato salsa and enjoy!
