Place chicken and sauce ingredients in Deep Covered Baker; thoroughly combine with Mix ‘N Scraper®. Microwave, covered, on HIGH 8-11 minutes or until internal temperature of chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Meanwhile, prepare toppings. Carefully remove baker from microwave to Stackable Cooling Rack. Using Salad Chopper, chop chicken into small pieces (see Cook’s Tip).
Arrange shells on Medium Sheet Pan; heat according to package oven directions. Fill each taco shell with about ¼ cup (50 mL) chicken mixture. Sprinkle with toppings just before serving.
