Honey Lime Chicken Tacos
Ingredients
1 lb. chicken breast tenders
zest of 1 lime
3 tbsp fresh squeezed lime juice
3 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp honey
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
2 tsp cumin
1 tsp diced chiles in adobo
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Kosher salt
fresh cracked black pepper
Directions
In a large bowl combine lime juice, lime zest, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, cumin, chiles in adobo, chili powder, garlic powder and a large pinch of salt and pepper.
Add chicken tenders a the bowl and pour marinade over chicken. Nestle chicken into the marinade.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes and up to 1 hour.
While the chicken is marinating, make the chipotle slaw real quick.
Heat a grill to medium high heat or heat a large saute pan over medium high heat.
Allow excess marinade to drip off chicken and then place on grill or in pan.
Cook each side for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until a nice golden brown crust forms and the chicken is cooked through. You may need to cook in 2 batches depending on the size of your pan.
Allow chicken to rest for 3-4 minutes and then slice into half inch pieces width wise.
To assemble, place sliced chicken in the center of a tortilla then top it with a heaping spoonful of chipotle slaw, homemade Pico de Gallo, crumbled queso fresco and fresh cilantro.
Serve with fresh lime wedges and enjoy!
