Chipotle Chicken Tacos... Lean, Green Eating Machine!

My beautiful friend wants more variety in her "chicken dinner" rotation, so tonight, it's easy-peezy chicken tacos! Fresh delicious and full of grilled, smoky chipotle flavor! First, cue chicken tenders... I started with a little over a pound of chicken tenders and seasoned with salt, garlic powder, and a prepared chipotle pepper seasoning blend. After that seasoning sits on those tenders for at least 15-20 minutes get ready to grill! I grilled these tender little babies for no more than 3 minutes per side on hot heat. After grilling, let them rest for at least 10 - 15 minutes. Rested meat is tender-juicy meat!!! Chicken's ready! Time for tacos!! Tonight we have some fresh greens, crunchy carrots, creamy avocado, and a little drizzle of chipotle dressing to top it all off (flavor short cut... guilty)! So tonight... Grilled chipotle chicken tacos! So there they are! Stevie prefers no avocado, but I do! These are super fresh lean and tasty! The carrots add a nice crunch, the chicken is spicy, and the sweet greens are perfect! You could add cilantro or slaw to these tacos (neither of which I had tonight)... but these were simply perfect. So good, that we're on our third night of LOVING these chicken tacos! BOOM!
