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!
Looks amazing! Can't wait to make it. Thanks for the chicken dinner ideas!
