Cilantro Lime Chicken On Tortillas
Lime and Cilantro wake up the flavors in this dish.
Everyone loves Tacos but it is time to add some new flavor sensations on top of your Tortilla. In this dish I use Chicken Breast, Corn and Black Beans, then the Lime and Cilantro top everything off.
If you have an Herb garden, this is a great dish to showcase your Cilantro.
I love the flavors in this dish so much, I kept thinking about it all night after I made dinner. The next morning, I had to have leftovers for breakfast!
CILANTRO LIME CHICKEN ON TORTILLAS
Ingredients:
- 1.25 Pounds Boneless skinless Chicken Breast, cut into thin slices
- 1 (15 oz.) Can Black Beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 Cup Frozen Roasted Corn, thawed
- 6-8 Corn Tortillas
- 2 Limes, zest and juice
- 3/4 Cup Cilantro, rough chopped
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 Cup Red Onion, diced
- 1/2 Cup Kraft Zesty Lime Vinaigrette
- 1 & 1/2 Cups Pepper Jack Cheese, shredded
- 1 Teaspoon Mrs. Dash Extra Spicy
- Freshly Ground Black Pepper
Directions:
1. In a large sauté pan, add 1 Tablespoon of the Olive Oil and the Red Onions. Cook just until translucent over medium heat.
2. Add the remaining Olive Oil and the Chicken. Then sprinkle with the Mrs. Dash Seasoning and give a few turns of your Pepper mill over all. Cook over medium heat until no longer pink.
3. Stir in the Corn and Beans.
4. Add the Lime zest to the pan and then squeeze the Juice from one of the Limes into the pan. Next stir in the Lime Vinaigrette and continue to cook just until all the ingredients are heated through.
5. Just before removing from the heat stir in 1/4 Cup of the Cilantro. Cover the pan to keep the heat in until you have your Tortillas warmed.
6. Put one or two Tortillas in a large nonstick pan over high heat, to warm them. Watch them carefully because they heat up quickly and you don’t want them to burn. Occasionally flip them and when you see just a hint of golden brown they are ready.
7. To serve, add about 1/2 to 2/3 cup of the Chicken mixture on each Tortilla, then add about a Tablespoon of Cheese on top of the warm Chicken mixture, followed by a sprinkle of Cilantro. To top it all off, give a little squeeze of the second Lime on each filled Tortilla to really give it a nice kick.
