Outback Steakhouse Aussie Chicken Tacos

I was at the Outback Steakhouse in Naples, Florida last week and ordered the Aussie Chicken Tacos. I’ve been eating out a lot lately and I’m getting really good at making educated guesses as to what’s in certain dishes. When I ordered these tacos I thought to myself, “How hard can this be? Ground chicken, cheese, bacon, mushrooms, and sauce.”

As it turns out, this is an easy recipe to make at home. The hardest part is chopping all of the ingredients. The average cook is probably not going to have ground chicken on hand so that means you either have to buy some or run out and get some. For me, it was a one-minute trip to the store because I always have ground chicken in my freezer.

These tacos are not just delicious but they are also very healthy. If you calculate how many calories are in each taco you will find they are under 500 calories per taco! So if you add a side salad you are looking at dinner for well under 800 calories! And did I mention that they taste great? Add a margarita and it may be dinner for two!
