- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp. salt

- 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
- 8-10 corn taco shells ( I use the stand n stuff from Old El Paso)
- 1 cup freshly grated pepper jack cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Place the cooked, shredded chicken in a large bowl. Add the chili powder, paprika, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Toss to combine. Drizzle in the honey and lime juice. Toss again to combine everything.
- Place the corn tortillas in a 9×13-inch baking dish. Divide the chicken evenly among the taco shells and place inside. Top each taco with a little Pepper-Jack cheese.
