Creamy Lime Chicken Tacos
These tacos changed me. It's all about the layers of flavoring in the meat.
Here's what you'll need for the meat:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (good for two, maybe three people depending on how hungry you are)
About 1/8 to 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 or 2 limes
3 or 4 chopped green onions (start at the white end and chop the onion up until about halfway)
3 or 4 cloves of garlic (finely chopped)
1/4 to 1/2 cup sour cream
Salt
Pepper
Paprika (optional)
Sugar
Chop up the chicken raw. Don't cube it (cubing it just seems unnatural and it doesn't allow the chicken to absorb the flavors as much), longer, less uniform strips of chicken are best.
Layer 1:
Sautee the chicken in a little olive or vegetable oil with salt, pepper and paprika. Just until browned.
Layer 2:
Squeeze in half a lime, add red wine vinegar, and add the onions, garlic, and maybe a teaspoon or two of sugar. Let simmer until the vinegar is almost completely cooked down.
Layer 3:
Add sour cream and let simmer until it becomes thick and sticky.
Chicken is done
Now you need salsa:
1 tomato about the size of your fist
Half of a yellow onion about the size of your fist
Cilantro
1 Jalapeño
Half a lime
Salt and pepper
Chop everything up to your desired size and mix it all together. Let it sit for a while (best if you start with the salsa and then make everything else so it gets a chance to come together).
Heat up your tortillas
Add the chicken and squeeze some lime
Then top it all with shredded lettuce, grated colby jack cheese and plenty of salsa
ENJOY!!!
