Chicken Tacos with Lime-Cilantro Crema

This is a recipe I adapted from a fish taco recipe. I make it with leftover chicken but you can season raw chicked and cook it in a skillet in minutes. You can use fat free mayo and fat free sour cream to decrease fat & calories. I serve it with Pinto Salad.

Can add peppers (serrano or anaheim)

Wonderful combination of flavors with the Lime-Cilantra Crema. I added a small amount of anaheim pepper (will try something hotter next time like a very small amount of habanero) and mushrooms to the chicken mixture.

Very Good.. Whole family loved it.

I did make a few changes.

1) I just used McCormics Taco seasoning on the chicken about 3 Tbs.

2) I also soaked and cooked the chick in 1/2 of a lime juiced, 1/2 of a lemon juiced, and 1/2 of an orange juiced.

3) I cubed the chicken also.

Was very good and the Crema add a nice flavor to it.
