Quick N' Tasty Chicken Tacos - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
1 1/2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie chicken is very tasty in this)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon oregano
Pineapple-Tomato Salsa
1/2 cup pineapple, diced
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes or 1/2 cup grape tomatoes, chopped
1/3 cup seedless cucumber, minced
1/3 cup minced red onion
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro or 3 tablespoons parsley
1 1/2 tablespoons minced jalapeno peppers
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 dash salt
1 dash hot sauce
Also needed
4 taco shells
julienned lettuce
grated cheddar cheese or monterey jack cheese
sour cream
Preparation
-
Combine the chicken, lemon juice, chili powder, cumin and oregano in a small bowl.
Make sure the spices mix into all the chicken. Cover and place in refrigerator until ready to assemble your tacos.
Make Pineapple-Jalapeno Salsa: Combine all the salsa ingredients in a bowl.
Note: I cut the cherry tomatoes in half and give them a gentle squeeze to get rid of excess juice and seeds, then chop them up.
Assemble Tacos: Fill the taco shells with chicken and salsa. Top with your favourite taco fixings.
Lean over plate. Take a big bite. Doesn't that taste good?
