Zesty Lime Chicken Tacos
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast meat - cubed
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1/8 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 lime, juiced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 10 (6 inch) flour tortillas
  • 1 tomato, diced
  • 1/4 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/4 cup salsa
Instructions
1
Cook chicken breast in a mid-sized cooking vessel over high heat, stirring occasionally, until it reaches the desired level of doneness, approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Introduce chopped scallions, a splash of citrusy vinegar, freshly squeezed lime juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, granulated sugar, a pinch of salt, and a few grinds of black pepper into the mixture. Allow it to simmer gently over low heat for 10 minutes.
2
Warm a metal frying pan over medium heat. Place a tortilla in the pan, allowing it to soften and become pliable, before flipping it over to heat the other side. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas. Serve the chicken mixture in warm, crispy tortillas, accompanied by sliced tomatoes, crisp lettuce leaves, melted cheese, and a tangy salsa.
