Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 cups sour cream
1 tablespoon chopped canned chipotle chiles* (about 2)
2 tablespoons (packed) golden brown sugar
1 tablespoon smoked hot Spanish paprika (Pimentón de la Vera)**
2 1/4 teaspoons chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
2 small zucchini, quartered lengthwise
1 red bell pepper, seeded, cut lengthwise into 3/4-inch-thick strips
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 pound skinless boneless chicken breast halves, each halved horizontally
12 5- to 6-inch-diameter corn tortillas, warmed
Cilantro Slaw
2 limes, each cut into 6 wedges

Steps:

  • Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Whisk sour cream and chipotle chiles in small bowl; season with salt. Whisk brown sugar and next 5 ingredients in another small bowl to blend for spice rub.
  • Place zucchini and bell pepper on rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with canola oil; toss to coat. Sprinkle spice rub over both sides of vegetables and chicken.
  • Place chicken and vegetables on barbecue. Grill until vegetables are tender and browned in spots and chicken is cooked through, turning occasionally, about 5 minutes. Transfer to work surface; cut chicken crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick strips. Cut vegetables crosswise into 3/4-inch pieces. Place chicken and vegetables in large bowl; toss to blend.
  • Place chicken and vegetables, chipotle cream, tortillas, slaw, and lime wedges on table. Allow guests to assemble their own soft tacos.
  • *Chipotle chiles canned in a spicy tomato sauce, which is sometimes called adobo, are available at some supermarkets, at Latin markets, and at specialty foods stores.
  • **Available at specialty foods stores and from tienda.com.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less chili powder.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chicken came out dry and the vegetables were mushy.
