Grilled Chicken Soft Tacos

Ortega

2 tbsp olive oil

1 pkg (1.25 oz) taco seasoning mix

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 red, green, or orange bell peppers, seeded and halved

10 flour tortillas

Kicked-Up Sauce (Makes: 2 cups)

½ can (4 oz) diced jalapenos

1 bottle (8 oz) medium taco sauce

3 tbsp fresh lime juice

3 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro

½ cup diced tomato

½ cup diced onion

In a medium sized bowl, combine diced jalapenos, taco sauce, lime juice, cilantro, tomato, and onion; set aside.

Lots of pizzazz in there!


Spray cold grill grate with nonstick, nonflammable cooking spray. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (350-400F).

In a large bowl, combine olive oil with taco seasoning mix. Add chicken breasts, turning to coat. Let stand for 10 minutes.

Place chicken and bell pepper halves on prepared grill. Grill chicken and pepper halves, covered with grill lid, for 5 to 6 minutes on each side, or until chicken is done and peppers are crisp and tender. Let chicken stand for 5 minutes.

Cut chicken and peppers into strips. Place chicken and bell pepper strips in tortillas. 

Welcome to the taco assembly line.


Top with Kicked-Up Sauce.

Served with the obvious sides.

My Rating: 4/5 "This sauce is awesome. I caught myself eating it out of the bowl with a spoon at one point. The rest of it is what you expect out of a white-people taco, but it's a damn solid white-people taco."
