Ingredients

  • 4 small tortillas
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 2 avocados
  • 1/2 cup grated cheese
  • 1/2 green onion
  • 3 medium tomato
  • 2 cups shredded lettuce
  • 4 tbsp sour cream
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp pepper adjust to taste
  • 1 tsp salt adjust to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Microwave the tortillas for 8 seconds, just so they're soft enough to be malleable. Invert 4 large canning jars on a baking sheet and place a warmed tortilla on top of each one (this will create the "bowl" shape).

  • Fold the sides of the tortillas to form the shape of a bowl around the canning jar. Bake the bowls until hard and golden brown (about 3-5 minutes). Pull the baking sheet out of the oven and allow the tortillas to cool at room temperature on the jars.

  • Preheat a skillet with olive oil. Place the ground chicken in the skillet and season it with salt and pepper, mixing it occasionally to break up the larger pieces. Cook until the meat turns golden brown.
