- 2 tablespoons oil
- 3 chicken thighs cubed
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 pound chorizo
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1/2 cup each chopped red and green bell peppers
- 1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 1 cup corn kernels fresh or frozen

- 1 package ZATARAIN'S® Reduced Sodium Jambalaya Mix
- 2-½ cups reduced sodium chicken broth

- Sea salt and black pepper to taste
- 1-1/2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Carefully press each corn tortilla half into the bottom and sides of each muffin tin, ensuring that each side overlaps. If necessary, cut a half a tortilla in half again and fit it in the muffin tin on top of the other half tortilla to completely cover the bottom of the cup.
- Bake the muffin tin pan with the corn tortilla cups for about 15 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove and let cool.
- In a large skillet, over medium high heat, add olive oil.
- Season chicken thighs with sea salt and black pepper to taste, then place chicken thighs into the hot skillet and cook on both sides for about 4 minutes on each side.
- While the chicken is browning add in chorizo and brown along with the chicken.
- Remove chicken and chorizo from the pan and set aside. These items will be returned to the pan later in the process.
- If needed, add a little more olive oil then the garlic, onions, and red and green bell peppers, and cook for 2-3 minutes until onions and peppers are softened.
- Add in the Jambalaya Mix and continue to cook for another few minutes.
- Add in the diced tomatoes with chilies and corn and stir well. Continue to cook for another 2 minutes.
- Add chicken broth and chili powder and cumin. Turn heat down to med low and allow to simmer for 15-20 minutes.
- After simmering stir mixture to make sure all of the ingredients are well blended, then add back the chicken thighs and chorizo.
- Cook 15 more minutes.
- Then spoon the jambalaya into each taco cup. Sprinkle each with a tablespoon of shredded cheese.
