Taco Tuesday! Chipotle Chicken and Killer Slaw!

So tonight's dinner literally took about 30 minutes to make. That's all! And, while not, completely from scratch, it was healthy, delicious, lean and full of nutrition! If you've seen the blog, you know grilled... ANYTHING... on a soft taco with fresh slaw is my favorite, a bit of an addiction... so here we go!! First, I started with the slaw! Super easy, fresh, and with a short cut! That's right, you can make this slaw in literally 5 minutes! First start with half a red cabbage (at least 3-4 cups, chopped), half a red onion chopped, 1-2 cups shredded carrots, and half cup of fresh cilantro. I just pulled the leaves off the stems and ripped them up with my hands and popped them in. Toss everything with this chipotle ranch dressing... super easy! We love this brand, but you could use a traditional mayo, vinegar, salt, sugar combo.... or your favorite dressing. Either way, chopping your own fresh local veggies is supremely better than any slaw you can buy!! So, now we have slaw! The only other thing to prepare tonight is our boneless chicken. Time to season! Tonight I liberally sprinkled my chicken with some salt, pepper, garlic powder, chipotle pepper, and some southwest seasoning. If you don't have all these flavors, you could use your own favorites... or simply salt, pepper and garlic powder. Next, I cleaned my grill, and sprayed with cooking oil (Pam), and popped those babies on to a medium high heat for about 3 minutes per side. After I was sure they were ready (3-4 minutes, depending on how hot your grill is), I flipped them and finished cooking for another 3 minutes! And that's all.... that's it! Grilled chicken and some killer slaw to go with it! So easy and super tasty together! Here's dinner Joe's way! 4 super sized soft tacos filled with grilled chipotle chicken, slaw, and a fresh squeeze of lime! Soooooo GOOD! Stevie's way.... 2 of those super tasty soft tacos... and a big glass of milk (might have been a little spicy for Stevie... but he loved them)!! So, try this super easy, super tasty combo... literally grill anything, any protein you love.... and pair it with some slaw... literally any crispy, fresh, crunchy slaw you love!! Always a winner!!!
