Ingredients

- 1/2 Tablespoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/3 cup honey

- 8 corn taco shells (I use the 'stand n' stuff' shells from Old El Paso)
- 1 cup freshly grated Pepper Jack cheese
OPTIONAL TOPPINGS
- chopped cilantro
- sour cream
- salsa
- guacamole
Instructions
- Place the cooked, shredded chicken in a large bowl. Add the chili powder, paprika, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper to bowl. Toss to combine. Drizzle in the honey and lime juice. Toss again to combine everything.
- Place the corn tortillas in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Divide the chicken evenly among the taco shells and place inside. Top each taco with a little Pepper-Jack cheese.
- Bake in a 350° F. oven for 10 minutes or until cheese is melted and chicken is heated through. Serve warm with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
