Chipotle chicken tacos with citrus sour cream
Ingredients: (Serves four to five people and all ingredients can be found at the supermarket)
-1 pack of corn tortillas
-1 can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
-1 package of shredded Monterey jack cheese
-1 head of romaine lettuce, shredded
-1/2 onion, julienned (cut into strips)
-1 tomato, diced
-1 package of chicken tenders or breasts (cut into strips)
-1 cup sour cream
-1 lime, juiced
This recipe consists of three parts; the tortilla, the filling and an awesome sauce to top your tacos off.
Begin by sautéing the chicken strips, 2 tbsp chopped chipotle peppers, 1/2 julienned onion in a skillet on medium-high heat.
Prepare the citrus sour cream: Take 1 cup of sour cream and add the lime juice. Mix well. This will balance out the heat from the chipotle sauce on the chicken.
Warm or toast the corn tortillas in the oven, toaster oven, or in a dry sauté pan until they are slightly brown.
Once all the fillings are ready, start adding them to the corn tortilla in this order to allow for the best blending of textures and flavors: shredded Monterey jack cheese, sautéed chipotle chicken and onions, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and top it all off with the citrus sour cream.
The spicy chipotle chicken and onions will be balanced out by the fresh cool tomatoes and zesty citrus sour cream, shredded cheese, and crisp lettuce. These mouthwatering tacos are fun to make and packed with delicious flavor. Enjoy!
