Three-Chili Chicken Tacos

This year I have been trying to make some meals with ground chicken. I adapted this three-chili chicken tacos recipe from one I found in my recent issue of Simple and Delicious. The original called for ground turkey so you could use that as well. I also changed out a few of the ingredients, including using ginger ale in place of beer. Then, I also altered some of the amounts of ingredients to suit my tastes a little more.
These three-chili chicken tacos turned out really well and was loved by the whole family. My daughter even ate this in a tortilla for the first time. Usually when we have tacos she just forgoes the tortilla and puts the meat and taco toppings in a bowl. My husband thought the tacos meat tasted similar to a sloppy joe filling.
Top these tacos with whatever taco topping you like. I used lettuce, cheese, and sour cream. I do think some guacamole would also be tasty.
