Chicken Soft Taco Filling

In the past when I’ve made chicken soft tacos (which was seldom), I used a store-bought package of taco seasoning.  Last week, as part of the Eat From the Pantry/Freezer Challenge, I made do with what I had on hand.  These were the most flavorful chicken tacos I’ve ever made, especially with homemade tortillas!
