Chicken Tacos with Jalapenos and Black Bean Salsa

Tangy, spicy and crunchy tacos are always relished by my kids and if they're stuffed with seasoned chicken, nothing can be better than that. Black bean salsa is always my favorite when it comes to making Mexican cuisines. It's easy-to-make and tastes great. Tacos filled with seafood also taste great provided they're served with a tangy sauce. Crispy corn tortillas are must for this delicious recipe because wheat tortilla is not that much crispy and delicious. I generally serve these tacos with whipped buttermilk or seasoned sour cream. You can easily refrigerate these tacos as they taste quite good for up to 2 to 3 days. So let's quickly make these yummy, crunchy and fiery chicken tacos in a few easy steps.
