Around here, Mexican food is a food group all on its own. My daughter and I could live on tacos, chips and salsas, fajitas and more, so anytime I get the chance to try a new Mexican recipe, I do. I recently discovered Cilantro Lime Chicken Tacos. I serve it with my Cilantro Rice and it makes for a quick and easy, but tasty meal.
- 12 soft taco flour tortillas
- ½ head romaine lettuce shredded
- 4 plum tomatoes cleaned out and cut into ½-inch dice (about 1 cup)
- 1/3 cup finely chopped yellow bell pepper or any color
- 1 cup Mexican cheese cojita
- Fresh cilantro sprigs for garnish
- 3 Tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 Tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 Tablespoon honey
- 1 small clove garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon taco seasoning
- pinch kosher salt
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 Tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 Tablespoon soy sauce
-
In a bowl, add the lettuce, tomatoes, bell pepper and cojita cheese. Set aside.
-
Place all of the ingredients in the blender and process until smooth.
-
In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat and add the chicken. Cook until done. Add the salt, pepper, garlic, lime juice, cilantro, and soy sauce and cook an additional minute.
-
Fill each tortilla with chicken and top with some marinade. Add some of the lettuce mixture on top. Enjoy.
These tacos are really easy to make and take no time to put together. You can serve it with a side of rice or refried beans, whichever you choose. The rice is what takes the longest, but if you do it in the microwave, you can make sure to have this meal on the table in 15 minutes flat!
