Ingredients:

  • 2 tortillas
  • 4 ounces cooked Cornish hen, shredded
  • 1 tablespoon guacamole
  • 1/4 cup chopped tomato
  • 1/4 cup cucumber strips
  • 1 tablespoon picante sauce

Instructions:

  1. Season the Cornish hen with a little oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, coriander and cumin. Cook in the oven, air fryer, or covered skillet until fully cooked and the meat is tender. Let it rest for a few minutes, so it is easier to handle, then take the meat off the hen and shred.
  2. Warm the shredded Cornish hen in a pan with cumin, coriander, garlic powder, and a spoonful of picante sauce.
  3. Warm the tortillas until soft.
  4. Fill each tortilla with Cornish hen.
  5. Top with tomato, cucumber, guacamole, and extra picante sauce.
  6. Fold and serve warm, letting the cool toppings make the tacos feel fresh and summery.

Good for: A simple taco dinner that feels bright, colorful, and very approachable.

Optional: Add cheddar or sauteed peppers and onions.
