How to Make Taco Chicken Tenders on a Blackstone
Aunt Lou here.
We love taco chicken tenders around my house, so I thought I would see how easy they were to make on my Blackstone. Turns out, they are really easy to make on a Blackstone! Not only did they cook up in 10 minutes or less, they also have a great taste! My family gobbled them up and went on and on about how much they loved them. That is a win in my book.
These tenders are delicious all on their own with some black refried beans and Spanish Rice as sides. However, they are also amazing in a variety of dishes. You can also cut them into bite size pieces and put them in quesadillas, chicken taco salads, chicken tacos, burritos and more! I would love to hear your favorite way to serve these delicious tenders in the comments below. However you serve them, I hope you and your loved ones enjoy them as much as we do!
(Psst…if this recipe sounds good, but you would rather make it in an air fryer, you can find that recipe here.)
