Ingredients

Crispy Chicken Tacos

  • 1 lbs. chicken tenderloins, Smart Chicken
  • 8 tortillas, corn or flour
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup sweet onion, diced
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 10 ounces red enchilada sauce, 10-ounce can
  • salt, to taste
  • black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheese, mozzarella or cheddar

Avocado Lime Crema

  • ½ avocado, remove peel and pit
  • ¼ cup light sour cream
  • 2-4 tablespoons cilantro, remove stems
  • 2-3 tablespoons lime juice, fresh squeezed
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, about 2 cloves
  • ½ jalapeno, option to remove seeds and veins
  • salt, to taste

Equipment

  • 1 saute pan
  • 1 baking tray
  • 1 food processor

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven 375 degrees.
    Combine light sour cream, fresh cilantro, lime juice, jalapeno, avocado, salt and garlic in a food processor. Buzz until smooth, set aside.
  • Heat a sauté pan over medium heat. Add olive oil, diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 5 minutes or until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant. Next, add the chicken tenderloins. Season with salt and black pepper.
    Once the chicken is cooked through, deglaze the pan with a can of enchilada sauce. Let everything simmer over medium low heat. Then, using two forks, carefully shred the chicken into small pieces.
  • Wrap the tortillas with paper towels, and warm the tortillas in the microwave for 30 seconds. Lightly spray both sides with olive oil cooking spray and lay them flat on a baking tray. Add even amounts of shredded cheese and shredded chicken filling.
  • Place in the oven for 5-6 minutes, then fold the tortillas in half. This allows the tortilla to get crispy on the outside. Cook for another 5-10 minutes in the oven. Remove, top with lime cream and garnishes. Enjoy hot.
