Chicken Taco Quiche image

I wanted to make a quiche but didn't want the usual flavors, so I used ingredients I had in my pantry and refrigerator to come up with this recipe. I was surprised at the great taste and how well the flavors came together. My neighbor asked for the recipe and had the same success! -Tamie Bradford, Grand Forks AFB, North Dakota

Yield 2 quiches (6 servings each).

Number Of Ingredients 10

Dough for 2 single-crust pies
