Categories     World Cuisine    Latin American    Mexican

Total Time 55 minutes

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 40 minutes

Yield 8 tacos

Number Of Ingredients 11

¼ cup water
1 (1 ounce) packet taco seasoning mix
2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
2 teaspoons white distilled vinegar
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 teaspoons ground oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon white sugar
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts
8 taco shells, warmed

Steps:

  • Mix water and taco seasoning in a large bowl. Add tomato sauce, vinegar, garlic, oregano, cumin, and sugar; mix well.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Add tomato sauce mixture and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Remove chicken breasts from the pan and shred meat with 2 forks when cool enough to handle. Return shredded chicken to the pan with the tomato sauce. Cook and stir until chicken is coated with sauce and sauce reduces a bit, about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer chicken and sauce to a serving bowl and spoon onto taco shells.

Categories     Healthy Chicken Taco Recipes

Total Time 50 minutes

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 teaspoon ancho chile powder (see Tip)
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground pepper
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed
4-5 Pixie tangerines or clementines, divided, plus wedges for serving
1-2 limes, divided, plus wedges for serving
½ cup reduced-fat sour cream
½ teaspoon kosher salt, divided
2 teaspoons canola oil
2 cups packed thinly sliced red cabbage
¼ cup chopped scallions
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
8 whole-wheat flour tortillas (6-inch), warmed

Steps:

  • To prepare chicken: Combine chile powder, cumin, garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper in a small bowl. Place chicken between sheets of plastic wrap and pound with the smooth side of a meat mallet to an even 1/2-inch thickness. Sprinkle the chicken with the spice mixture; set aside.
  • Zest and juice enough tangerines (or clementines) and limes to get 1 teaspoon zest of each and 1 teaspoon plus 2 tablespoons juice of each.
  • To prepare crema: Combine 1 teaspoon each of the tangerine zest and lime zest, 1 teaspoon each of the tangerine juice and lime juice, sour cream and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • To prepare slaw: Combine the remaining 2 tablespoons each tangerine juice and lime juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt and oil in a medium bowl. Peel 3 tangerines and halve the segments. Add to the bowl along with cabbage, scallions and cilantro; toss to coat.
  • Coat a grill pan with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat or preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high. Grill the reserved chicken until no longer pink in the middle, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a clean cutting board; let rest for 5 minutes, then slice.
  • To assemble the tacos, drizzle tortillas with a little crema and top with chicken, slaw and a little more crema. Serve with tangerine and lime wedges, if desired.
