Chicken Tacos (Freezer Meal)

This is one of my families favorites - plus it is the quickest and easiest freezer meal I make!  Whenever I go to Costco I get the biggest bag of chicken breasts they have and then cook them on a cookie sheet in the oven with just a little bit of Johnny's Season Salt and pepper.  I cook them until all the fat is rendered off and they even have some crispy ends.  After they are cooled you can assemble your taco pack. 

Chicken Tacos
5 large cooked chicken breasts - shreaded by hand
2 -3 cups Kirkland salsa (This is the BEST brand I have found for this recipe)

Put the shreaded chicken and salsa in a ziplock bag and fold down to get the air out.
In another ziplock freezer bag put enough cheese for your tacos - probably about 3 cups.  Then in one more ziplock freezer bag put about a dozen tortillas. 

It is a bit of a squeeze but I can fit the chicken, cheese and tortillas all in one ziplock gallon freezer bag.  This will freeze well for 3 months or so.  On the day you want to eat your yummy tacos just get your taco pack out of the freezer and place the chicken in a crockpot for the day to warm and marinate and then place the tortillas and cheese in the fridge until ready to use.  Enjoy!
