The Freshman Cook: April 2017

I think you are going to love these Chicken Street Tacos! They are easy to make, and even though the ingredient list is long, you probably have most of the items in your pantry already! I like this recipe because although I wrote this post as if you are making a plate of tacos, it would also work if you wanted to serve the tacos as a buffet with everyone making their own. It would be a bit easier on the hostess, too!

Any way you want to serve these, they will be a favorite with your friends and family, and perfect for celebrating Cinco de Mayo! Enjoy!

Chicken Street Tacos 

(printable recipe at end of page)

1/2 cup Sour Cream

1/2 cup Heavy Whipping Cream

1 Fresh Lime

1 pound Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast

1 cup Orange Juice

1 Fresh Lime

1 small white Onion

small Flour or Corn Tortillas

1 teaspoon Butter

Minced Garlic

1/2 teaspoon Cumin

1 Fresh Corn on the Cob

1 teaspoon Butter

Salt and Pepper

Salsa

Avocado

Cilantro

Queso Fresco 

Lettuce to garnish plate

Make the homemade Crema first. You can buy this at the store if you don’t want to make it, but it tastes really great when it is homemade. Whisk together the sour cream and whipping cream until it is smooth. Add the juice from a fresh lime and whisk together. Cover with plastic and refrigerate at least 2 hours.

Cut your chicken breasts to any size pieces you want. We will be shredding them later. Place in a pan and add the orange juice and the juice from a fresh lime. Refrigerate for 1 hour-1 1/2 hour. 

 Dice onions and set aside.

 Grill tortillas on grill. Set aside. You can also heat them in the oven or microwave.

When the time is up, heat a frying pan with butter and add the minced garlic. Sprinkle the cumin on both sides of each piece of chicken and place in the pan to cook on medium high. Turn when necessary until golden brown. Throw the marinade away. Remove from pan and let cool.

Place the cut corn in a frying pan with butter. Add salt and pepper to corn and fry on medium high heat until cooked.

As soon as the chicken has cooled enough to handle it, start shredding it apart.

Start building your street tacos. Place chicken on the taco and add onion, corn, cheese, salsa, crema, avocado. 

These Chicken Street Tacos taste great with the added taste of a shredded cilantro leaf, and a squeeze of fresh lime!
