Healthy chicken tacos


1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken diced
1/2 cup yellow onion diced
5 cloves garlic diced
salt
pepper
3/4 cup salsa verde
flour tortillas
Sliced mozzarella
tomatoes chopped
cilantro chopped
sour cream

Preheat oven to 350. If you don't have a taco rack like mine you can fold them over the sides of an oven safe pan. Bake for about 10-15 minutes until crisp. Dice chicken and sauté with 1/4 cup of onions (reserve rest for topping) , garlic, salt and pepper until chicken is cooked. Add 1/2 cup of salsa to chicken and warm through. While salsa is warming, line tortillas with cheese and put under broiler until cheese melts to inside. Top with chicken and another layer of cheese and place back under the broiler long enough for cheese to melt. Top with tomato, onion, sour cream, cilantro, and the remaining salsa.

**FYI I call these healthy because the tortillas are baked not fried, and the chicken is covered in a simple low cal sauce instead of a heavy sauce. You can of course leave out the sour cream or cheese if you want to.
