Lime Chicken Soft Tacos

Alrighty then, these are delicious! Just made them tonight, so I will do my best to recall the things I liked and some things I would modify for next time. For starters, these are great on a summer night- they have a little fiesta feel to them, would be fun and easy for company. 

Ingredients:

1 1/2 lbs chicken breasts, cut into strips

1 lime, juiced

1/8 cup red wine vinegar

2 cloves of garlic, minced

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

1 tsp white sugar

2-3 green onions, chopped

1/4 cup cilantro, chopped

1-2 tomatoes, diced

2 cups lettuce, finely chopped

tortillas

Monterrey jack cheese, shredded

*sour cream

*guacamole

**The original recipe didn't call for sour cream or guac but after making it, my husband and I agreed this would be a great addition!

Directions

Ok you guys, super easy and not very time consuming, the most prep you have will be to wash and slice your chicken breasts. I cut mine into long, thin strips like in a fajita. Once your chicken is cut and ready to cook, heat a drizzle of olive oil in your pan and toss the chicken in. Let is get a good sear/brown color on the first side before flipping it and stirring it around. Let your chicken cook until it's almost done (about 7-10 minutes) and while it's cooking, you are making the "sauce" with the lime, red wine vinegar, s & p, sugar, and garlic. I made my "sauce" (it's more like a juice than a sauce) in my measuring cup and then poured it over top my chicken, stirring it around while it's doing it's final cooking. In the last minutes, I threw my green onion and cilantro in, let it cook just a smidge longer. Then pull it off the heat. You're pretty much done. Chop some lettuce, tomato, shred some cheese and heat up some tortillas- build yourself a soft taco, top it with sour cream, guac, and/or salsa and enjoy!

Serve with: corn on the cob and it's a complete meal!
