Soft Chicken Tacos - A different version of the Soft Bison Tacos!! Equally delicious!



Soft Chicken Tacos

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Marinating Time: 30 minutes

Cook Time : 20 minutes

Ingredients:

2 (6 ounces) boneless skinless
2 Tbsps plus 1 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil
2 Tbsps fresh lime juice
2 medium garlic cloves, minced
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper

3 medium red bell peppers, cut into thin strips
6 (8-inch) short whole grain tortilla shells (I used Old El Paso Smart Fiesta made with whole grain)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Directions:

Arrange chicken breasts snugly in a baking dish. Whisk together 2 Tbsps of the oil, lime juice, garlic, salt and black pepper in a small bowl, pour marinade over chicken and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Heat a grill or cast iron pan to medium-high. Remove chicken from marinade and grill until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate, cover loosely, and keep warm. Grill the tortillas for 10 minutes in the oven.  Cut chicken crosswise on the bias to make 24 thin slices, cut slices in half if desires. Arrange tortilla pieces on a service platter. Spoon 1/2 tsp of sour cream onto each tortilla. Divide chicken, peppers, and cilantro among tortillas. Serve warm.

I also added, some chopped Roma tomatoes, cheddar cheese and onions.  It was delicious. 

Makes 8 (4 piece servings)
