Total Time 1 hours 15 minutes

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup loosely packed cilantro leaves, plus 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, divided
¼ cup olive oil
½ teaspoon lime zest (reserve before juicing limes)
3 tablespoons lime juice, divided
2 tablespoons orange juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ teaspoon salt plus 1/8 tsp., divided
1?¼ pounds thin-sliced boneless, skinless chicken cutlets
1 cup diced tomatoes
1 cup diced strawberries
1 tablespoon minced jalapeño pepper
2 cups baby spinach
8 (6 inch) blue or yellow corn tortillas, warmed

Steps:

  • Place 1 cup cilantro leaves, oil, 2 Tbsp. lime juice, orange juice, garlic, and 1/4 tsp. salt in a food processor or blender; process until smooth. Transfer half the mixture to a small bowl and refrigerate.
  • Place the remaining mixture in a sealable plastic bag and add chicken. Seal and turn to coat the chicken. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, combine tomatoes, strawberries, jalapeño, lime zest, and the remaining 1 Tbsp. lime juice, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, and 1/8 tsp. salt in a medium bowl; toss well. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Preheat grill to medium-high. Lightly oil the grill grate (see Tip). Remove the chicken from the marinade (discard the marinade). Grill the chicken until browned and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side. (Alternatively, broil the chicken for 4 to 5 minutes per side.) Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Slice into thin strips.
  • To assemble: Place 1/4 cup spinach and a generous 1/3 cup chicken on each tortilla. Top each with about 1 1/2 tsp. of the reserved cilantro mixture and 1/4 cup salsa.
