Cilantro Lime Chicken Tacos image

A cilantro lime vinaigrette has two jobs in a weeknight taco recipe. First, it?s the marinade for the pan seared chicken filling. Then it turns sour cream into a special topping.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2/3 cup Food Network Kitchen™ Inspirations Mexican Style Cilantro Lime Vinaigrette
1/4 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
16 corn tortillas
Shredded lettuce, diced red onion, sliced radishes, guacamole and whole cilantro leaves, for serving

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper in a large bowl. Then toss with 1/2 cup of the Mexican Style Cilantro Lime Vinaigrette. Marinate for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, stir together the sour cream with the remaining 2 tablespoons vinaigrette.
  • Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken along with the marinade and cook until slightly browned and cooked through, about 7 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and chop. Season with salt.
  • Warm the tortillas as the label directs. Using 2 stacked tortillas per taco, fill with the chicken, top with the cilantro-lime sour cream and the toppings of your choice.

I made these tacos in my air fryer and they turned out amazing! The chicken was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

I'm not a huge fan of cilantro, so I used parsley instead. The tacos were still delicious!

This recipe is a great starting point, but I made a few changes to suit my own taste. I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts instead of thighs, and I added a bit of cumin and chili powder to the spice rub.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my tacos turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked the chicken.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. The chicken lacked flavor, and the sauce was too tangy for my taste.
