Storage and Shelf Life
To ensure you can enjoy these tacos later, store any leftovers properly. Place the components separately in airtight containers: the chicken in one, the salsa in another, and the taco shells in a dry container. Refrigerate them, and they’ll stay fresh for up to 2-3 days. If you want to extend their shelf life, consider freezing the chicken and salsa. Both can be frozen for up to 2-3 months. Just remember to thaw and reheat the chicken gently when you’re ready to relish these flavors once more.
Useful Tips
Here are some useful tips for perfect tacos:
- Tortilla Crispiness: If your tortillas have lost their crispiness after storage, you can reheat them in the oven for a few minutes to restore their crunch.
- Customization: Feel free to customize your tacos with additional toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, or guacamole for a unique twist.
- Meal Prep: Save time by marinating the chicken in advance and storing it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to cook.
- Spice Level: Adjust the spiciness of the salsa by adding more or fewer jalapeno slices to suit your taste.
