	Charmcity Five Star review: I was curious about the adaptation of a fish taco recipe to the land animal category but this simple, easy to prepare crema + Cilantro delivers. It is tasty in all the right ways - interesting and complements chicken in unusual but happily tasty ways 2 months, 1 weeks, 3 days, 27 minutes ago
	moomasters I haven't made the crema, but the taco seasonings are in a wonderful proportion. I use one large chicken breast since it's just me & my husband and boil it to get it tender. Once that's cool enough, I just shred it by hand, add the seasonings, add a few teaspoons of diced jalapeños and their juice, a bag if 10 minute instant rice and enough chicken stock to soak into the rice. It's WONDERFUL hot and cold as leftovers! :) 7 months, 3 weeks, 5 days, 39 minutes ago
	elklcl2000 This recipe made a memorable meal. Very easy and extremely delicious! 1 years, 6 months, 2 weeks, 6 days, 5 hours, 38 minutes ago
	dtaz0827 I made this recipe this weekend for a dinner party at my house, I did substitute the corn tortillas for fresh flour tortillas. I also had a vegetarian family in attendance and made some with tofu! it was amazing. I would definitely make this again. 1 years, 8 months, 2 weeks, 4 days, 11 hours, 50 minutes ago
	marcnbev Can add peppers (serrano or anaheim) 3 years, 3 months, 3 days, 3 hours, 56 minutes ago
	marcnbev 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. 3 years, 3 months, 3 days, 3 hours, 58 minutes ago
	LordDrow 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. 3 years, 9 months, 3 weeks, 2 days, 23 hours, 27 minutes ago
