Wave 1 - Lime Chicken Tacos

  • Lime Chicken Tacos - makes ~10 tacos

    1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast meat - cubed
    1/8 cup red wine vinegar
    1/2 lime, juiced
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
    2 green onions, chopped
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    1 teaspoon dried oregano
    whole wheat tortillas, whole wheat pita, can even serve this over bulgur wheat or brown rice if you like
    1 tomato, diced
    1/4 cup shredded lettuce
    1/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese - low fat - try a tofu cheese here if you can
    1/4 cup salsa

    Toss the chopped chicken into a ziploc bag. Add vinegar, lime juice, salt, pepper, green onion. garlic and oregano. I usually try and marinate this overnight for best flavor.

    Saute the chicken in the marinade until done. You might need to add some vegetable stock or a dash of olive oil to saute. Fill tortillas with the chicken mixture, lettuce , tomatoes, a bit of low fat cheese and salsa.
