Chicken Soft Tacos
Inspired by Del Taco's Grilled Chicken Taco and their Chicken Burrito. My Chicken Soft Tacos are made with tender seasoned pieces of chicken layered with creamy sauce, shredded lettuce and cheese on soft flour tortillas.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs. Chicken Thighs or Breasts boneless, skinless
- 2 cups Iceberg Lettuce shredded
- 1 cup Cheddar Cheese shredded
- 1 Lime cut into wedges
- 8-12 Small Taco Flour Tortillas (we use low carb street taco tortillas)
Creamy Taco Sauce
- ¼ cup Sour Cream
- ¼ cup Mayonnaise
Taco Seasoning:
- 1 teaspoon Chili Powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper
- ¼ teaspoon Cumin
Instructions
- Combine mayo and sour cream to make the creamy taco sauce and place in fridge for later.
- Season chicken on all sides with the taco seasonings blend.
- Heat oil in your skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Add chicken thighs and cover and cook for 4-5 minutes until bottoms are golden-brown. Remove lid and flip chicken over. Cook for another 4-5 minutes until chicken is cooked through to at least 165 degrees.
- Transfer chicken to a cutting board and cut into bite size pieces.
- Lightly heat flour tortillas on a skillet.
- Arrange tacos by spreading creamy taco sauce on the tortilla, topped with chicken, shredded lettuce, shredded cheese and a squeeze or lime juice.
- Serve with your favorite hot sauces and side dishes! Enjoy!
Notes
- This recipe calls for 8-12 taco flour tortillas depending on the size you use.
