Chicken Taco Melts
Dear September,
How about you slow down a bit. M’kay? Sphanx.
Back to school, back to dance, back to gymnastics, back to soccer… back, back, baaack!!!
You and I discussed this back-to-school schedule not very long ago, and instead of it getting easier, it just keeps getting busier! (That rhymed…ahem.)
After running around from one practice to the next, and then another, by the time we get home, everyone is tired and hungry. I don’t know about your family, but around here, hungry means, give me food NOW! That’s what they (husband and 4-year old) chant as soon as we enter the house. As barbaric as that sounds, it is the truth, my dears. Nobody wants to wait for me to cook for an hour and then finally sit down to eat.
Pillsbury Biscuits Make These Taco Melts So Easy To Make
Luckily, when it comes to serving dinner, I am always prepared. Also, lucky for me, I always have a stash (no, seriously, it’s.a.STASH) of Pillsbury Grands! Biscuits in our deep freezer. They are my go-to-pal for things like Caprese Pizza Rolls and Jelly Donut Holes. Apart from the convenience, we are huge fans of the Pillsbury Biscuits because they are very soft and SO flavorful, they taste just as good as any homemade biscuit that I have ever tried.
This Easy Dinner Recipe Is Perfect For Using Up Leftover Chicken
Working off Pillsbury’s recipe for Easy Taco Melts, I recently made these Chicken Taco Melts for dinner one night and I had to pop open one more Grands! tube because my husband could not get enough of them. We had some chicken dinner the night before and this was the perfect meal to make with the leftovers. As expected, this turned out to be a fantastic dish – rich, spicy, delicious, and filling. What more do you need!
What Else Can You Make With Pillsbury Biscuits?
I’ve been inspired by all of the Pillsbury Recipes and we are definitely looking forward to trying the Grands! Grilled Cheese Sandwiches next. And those Grands! Unsloppy Joes!! Don’t they sound amazing? I Love ’em!
Which recipe do you want to try?!

Would these even make it to the table? I’d eat them straight from the pan. 🙂
I too.. keep a stash of these, but I never thought to make them like this.. I just made some with cream cheese, but I’ll have to try them this way:)
Hi Elizabeth!! With cream cheese?! YUMMO!! You have to give these a try, as well. They were SO GOOD!
not only do these look great and fill that “give me food now!” hunger, they are also warm and satisfying for cooler days…
I love fast and easy food like this. You know it’s going to make the kids happy so it’s a winner out of the gate. 🙂
I agree-flying by too quickly! This is fun. This is easy…so nice for a quick and tasty dinner idea. 🙂
This is one those genius things that was invented. I make a version of this for the boys lunch and they love it, will surely try your version.
These are so fun, they remind me of savory hand pies!

I haven’t tried these tube biscuits in years but you came up with an innovative use in these hand pies.
