Chicken Tacos

Chicken Tacos

I got this recipe from the "Eating for Life" cookbook. I love these tacos! One of my favorites. If we weren't trying to eat healthier I would add sour cream and cheese!

1 T olive oil

4 limes, halved, divided

5 cloves garlic, minced, divided

2 tsp ground Cumin, divided

4 portions chicken ( the recipe calls for swordfish or tuna)

1 ripe avocado ( I use 3), peeled, pitted, and diced

1/4 red onion, minced

2 jalapenos, seeded and minced

2 T fresh cilantro, chopped

1 tomato

8 (6 inch) flour tortillas

8 lettuce leaves

1. Preheat grill to medium
2. Combine olive oil, juice of 3 limes, 4 garlic cloves and 1 tsp cumin in a shallow bowl or pie plate. Then add meat to this marinade and let soak for 15 minutes at room temperature, turning once after about 7 minutes.
3. While meat is marinating, in a separate small mixing bowl, stir together the remaining lime juice, garlic and cumin with diced tomatoes, onion, jalapenos and cilantro.
4. Place marinated meat on hot grill and cook for approximately 5 minutes, turn agnd grill for approximately 5 more minutes, until cooked throughout. Place meat on cutting board, let cool slightly, then slice into thin strips
5. Grill tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side
6. place two tortillas on each plate. Put a lettuce leaf in each tortilla, fill with portion of grilled, sliced chicken, and top with tangy avocado salsa. Fold and enjoy!
