Lime Chicken Soft Tacos with Spicy Yogurt Sauce image

This is my entry for this weeks Ninja Chef's Mystery Ingredient Challenge. Ingredients were soft taco shells, garlic and yogurt. Although this wasn't much of a challenge for me, as I had already created this wonderful recipe, I could not change a good thing and wanted to share with you. This is a family favorite. I love Mexican...

SPICY YOGURT SAUCE
1 clove garlic
1/4 tsp salt
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 c non-fat or low fat plain yogurt
1 to 1 1/2 Tbsp taco or fajita seasoning
LIME CHICKEN MIXTURE
1 1/2 lb skinless, boneless chicken breast, cubed
1/8 c red wine vinegar
1/2 lime, juiced
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp salt
2 green onions, chopped
2 clove garlic, minced
5 Tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
10 6 inch flour tortillas
EXTRAS
1 tomato, diced
shredded lettuce
mexican blend shredded cheese
2-3 limes, quartered

Steps:

  • 1. To make Spicy Yogurt Sauce, with a large knife press garlic and salt together until a smooth paste forms. Place in a small bowl with olive oil; mix well. Stir in yogurt and taco seasoning. Cover; chill 30 minutes before serving.
  • 2. Saute chicken in a medium saucepan over medium high heat for about 20 minutes. Add vinegar, lime juice, sugar, salt, pepper, green onion, garlic and cilantro. Simmer for an extra 10 minutes.
  • 3. Heat an iron skillet over medium heat. Place a tortilla in the pan, warm, and turn over to heat the other side. Repeat with remaining tortillas. An alternate way of heating the tortillas in the oven: wrap the ten tortillas in foil and place in 150 degree oven until warm, approximately 10-15 minutes.
  • 4. Serve lime chicken mixture in warm tortillas topped with tomato, lettuce, cheese and spicy yogurt sauce. We like to add the juice of one lime quarter on each of our tacos after it is put together.

I've tried a lot of different chicken taco recipes, but this one is by far my favorite. The chicken is always cooked perfectly and the spicy yogurt sauce is amazing.

I wasn't sure how the chicken would turn out, but it was surprisingly moist and flavorful. I think the marinade really helped.

I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, but I really enjoyed the spicy yogurt sauce. It had just the right amount of heat.

The recipe was easy to follow and the tacos turned out great! I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs and they were cooked perfectly.
