Spicy Tangy Chipotle Chicken Tacos

  • Wow, I'm not much of a cook, but I impressed myself with this one I didn't measure all the ingredients (they were all very low cal), so this is a somewhat rough estimate, but all the higher cal foods were measured.

    Chipotle Chicken Tacos

    - 24oz chicken (about 3 big skinless boneless breasts)
    - 2 tbsp canned diced green chiles
    - 3 canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
    - 1 tbsp of the adobo sauce from the can
    - 1 can of Mexican roasted tomatoes with green peppers
    - 1 tbsp honey
    - 1 tbsp basalmic vinegar
    - 3 tbsp orange marmalade (mine is sweetened with splenda, just 10cal/tbsp)
    - couple squirts of lime juice

    Preheat to 375deg.

    Mix everything in a baking dish with the chicken breasts. Bake for 30-45min, until chicken is done.

    Shred chicken and serve on tortillas. (I used Missionaries low carb tortillas, 80 cal each).

    Serves 4.


    This made BIG servings, and I used 2 tortillas for my meal. It was 405 cal for the dinner. You could easily just use one tortilla and divide the chicken into 5 servings for a lower calorie main dish and have a side dish. But I was all about some tacos tonight, haha. It was yummy...quite spicy, but the sweet tangy flavors also came through.
  • Sounds yummy. I love tacos and burritos and all that stuff
