Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (around 8 oz each) Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon Chipotle in adobo sauce
- 0.5 cup Non-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 small (6-inch) Corn tortillas
- 2 cups Shredded lettuce
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Diced red onion
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro
- 0.5 piece (diced) Avocado (optional)
- 1 second (for greasing the pan) Olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and lightly coat it with olive oil spray.
Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper on both sides.
Grill the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.
While the chicken is resting, prepare the chipotle dressing by combining the Greek yogurt, chipotle in adobo sauce, and lime juice in a small bowl. Mix until smooth.
Shred the rested chicken using two forks and place it in a large mixing bowl. Add the chipotle dressing to the chicken and toss until evenly coated.
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30-60 seconds on each side to make them pliable.
Assemble the tacos by placing a small amount of shredded lettuce on each tortilla. Top with the chipotle chicken salad, diced tomatoes, red onion, and a sprinkle of cilantro. Add diced avocado if desired.
Serve immediately with a lime wedge on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
