Hello again! It sure has been awhile since my last post. After the holiday season, starting a new job & finding out that I'm pregnant, Im ready to get back to my kitchen for some fun!!
Who doesn't love Taco Tuesday?!? It has become the standard Tuesday night special at almost every restaurant/bar. They are great due to their simplicity...meat, cheese, shell, some toppings & you have a fiesta for your taste buds.
Lets shake up the old beef & cheese standby and bring in some bright citrus flavors!
Citrus Grilled Chicken Taco's with Red Cabbage Slaw.
What you will need: Boneless, skinless chicken breast (cut thin), 1 orange, 1 lime, cilantro, green onion, chili powder, cumin, salt/pepper & olive oil. You will also need some red cabbage & sweet onion.
Start first by getting the zest from both fruits. You will also want the juice from the lime and half of the orange.
Add in your spices; chili powder, cumin, salt & pepper
Add cilantro & green onions
Drizzle with some olive oil and toss to coat.
Cover & chill for at least 30 mins.
Grill the chicken over high heat (keeping the flipping to a minimum). Once its fully cooked, remove from the heat and cover, allowing the chicken to rest for 5-10 minutes.
While the chicken rest, slice up your roasted bell pepper. **For an extra kick of heat, add a roasted jalapeño.
Slice or shred the chicken and toss it with the pepper. Set aside & keep warm while you make the cabbage topping.
Thinly slice the cabbage & onion
Throw in some torn cilantro, a squeeze on lime over top, a dash of salt & give it a toss.
For the tortillas, I personally prefer charring my shells over the flame of my stove or Ill throw them on the grill for the same effect. If you don't have access to an open flame, warm them in the microwave.
To serve, I spread a little sour cream on the shell, added the meat and topped with the cabbage! Feel free to add any additional toppings that you desire..cheese, salsa, gauc, etc...Fold & Devour!!
Enjoy & Always Cook with Love!
