LIGHTER CHICKEN TACOS



Lighter chicken tacos image

The same tasty Mexican dish with half the fat of standard tacos. Pile on the chicken, salsa and guacamole, and build yourself a delicious dinner

Provided by Angela Nilsen

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Main course, Supper

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 tsp rapeseed oil
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp smoked paprika
450g skinless chicken breasts, preferably organic
4 medium tomatoes, preferably on the vine, halved
1 red pepper, quartered
1 small red onion, cut into 8 wedges
¼ tsp rapeseed oil
2 tsp lime juice
¼ tsp ground cumin
good pinch of chilli flakes
2 medium-sized ripe avocados, stoned, peeled and roughly chopped
4 tsp lime juice
2 spring onions, ends trimmed, finely chopped
3 tbsp chopped coriander
good pinch of chilli flakes
8 corn tacos shells
8 tsp 0% Greek yogurt
2 Little Gem lettuces, shredded
chopped coriander
lime wedges, for squeezing over

Steps:

  • Mix the oil with the cumin and paprika on a large plate. Sit the chicken on the plate and rub the spiced oil all over it. Season with pepper and a pinch of salt, then cover and set aside while you prepare the salsa.
  • Heat the grill to high for 10 mins. Meanwhile, line a large baking tray with foil and lay the tomatoes (cut-side up) on it, along with the pepper and red onion. Brush the oil over the onion, and season the tomatoes and onion with pepper. Grill for 12-15 mins, turning the tomatoes and onion halfway through, until well charred. Remove (leaving the grill on) and set aside to cool - put the pepper in a bowl and cover with cling film so that it's easier to skin later.
  • For the guacamole, put the avocado in a bowl and briefly mash with a fork, leaving some chunky pieces for texture. Gently mix in the lime juice, spring onions, coriander and chilli flakes. Season with pepper and a pinch of salt.
  • Re-line the baking tray with foil and lay the chicken on it, plump-side up. Grill for about 10 mins until cooked - there is no need to turn it. Meanwhile, scoop out and discard as much of the seeds and juice from the tomatoes as you can (so the salsa isn't too wet), leaving the pulp and charred skin. When the pepper is cool enough to handle, peel off and discard the skin. Chop the tomatoes and onion, and dice the pepper. Combine in a bowl with the lime juice, cumin, chilli flakes, some pepper and a pinch of salt.
  • When the chicken is cooked, remove from the grill, cover loosely with foil and set aside for 5 mins.
  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Cut the chicken into chunky slices and spoon over the juices. When ready to serve, lay the taco shells on a baking sheet and warm through for 2-3 mins. Serve the chicken, taco shells, yogurt, lettuce, coriander and lime wedges in separate bowls, so that everyone can build their own tacos.

QUICK N' TASTY CHICKEN TACOS



Quick N' Tasty Chicken Tacos image

This is a tasty taco recipe developed to use cold, leftover chicken. Light and fresh-tasting. If you want a more traditional taco, you could heat up the chicken, but I like the chicken best at room temperature or slightly cool. This will make more salsa than you need for the tacos, but it's great with tortilla or pita crisps to snack on.

Provided by evelynathens

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 15m

Yield 4 tacos, 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 1/2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie chicken is very tasty in this)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 cup pineapple, diced
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes or 1/2 cup grape tomatoes, chopped
1/3 cup seedless cucumber, minced
1/3 cup minced red onion
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro or 3 tablespoons parsley
1 1/2 tablespoons minced jalapeno peppers
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 dash salt
1 dash hot sauce
4 taco shells
julienned lettuce
grated cheddar cheese or monterey jack cheese
sour cream

Steps:

  • Combine the chicken, lemon juice, chili powder, cumin and oregano in a small bowl.
  • Make sure the spices mix into all the chicken. Cover and place in refrigerator until ready to assemble your tacos.
  • Make Pineapple-Jalapeño Salsa: Combine all the salsa ingredients in a bowl.
  • Note: I cut the cherry tomatoes in half and give them a gentle squeeze to get rid of excess juice and seeds, then chop them up.
  • Assemble Tacos: Fill the taco shells with chicken and salsa. Top with your favourite taco fixings.
  • Lean over plate. Take a big bite. Doesn't that taste good?
