Ingredients

  • 8 taco shells or 6-inch flour tortillas

  • 1 3.125 ounce can bean dip

  • 6 ounce sliced cooked chicken breast or turkey breast

  • 2 cup shredded lettuce or purchased torn mixed greens

  • 1 2.25 ounce can sliced pitted ripe olives, drained

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese (4 ounces)

  • Chunky salsa (optional)

  • Sour cream (optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Wrap taco shells or tortillas in foil; place on a baking sheet. Bake for 5 minutes. Heat bean dip according to directions on can. Meanwhile, stack chicken slices; roll up in a spiral. Cut roll crosswise into eight pieces; use your fingers to shred slightly.

  2. To assemble tacos, spread 1 to 2 tablespoons heated bean dip onto bottom of one of the taco shells (if using); top with lettuce. Add chicken pieces, olives, and cheese. (If using tortillas, place each tortilla on a flat surface; sprinkle ingredients down center. Fold sides over filling.) If desired, serve tacos topped with salsa and sour cream.
