Chipotle Chicken Tacos, Citrus Sour Cream

Chipotle Chicken Tacos, Citrus Sour Cream


Ingredients: (Serves 4-5 people)

1 pack of Corn Tortillas

1 can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce

1 package of shredded moneterey jack cheese

1 head of romaine lettuce, shredded

½ onion, julienned (cut into strips)

1 tomato, diced

1 package of chicken tenders or breasts

1 cup sour cream

1 lime, juiced

Basically, you have three parts, the tortilla, what you put inside and the awesome sauce you will make on top!


Begin by sautéing the Chicken tenders or chicken breast (cut into strips), 2 tbsp of chopped up chipotle peppers, ½ julienned onion in a skillet on medium-high heat.


Prepare the Citrus Sour Cream: Take 1 cup of sour cream and add the juice of a lime. Mix well. This will balance out the heat from the chipotle sauce on the chicken.


Warm up or toast the corn tortillas in the oven, toaster oven, or dry sauté pan until they are slightly brown.


Once all the fillings are ready start adding them to the corn tortilla in this order ( Iw will allow for the best blending of textures and flavors): shredded Monterey jack cheese, sautéed chipotle chicken and onions, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and top it all off with the zesty lime sour cream.


The spicy chipotle chicken and onions will be balanced out by the fresh cool tomatoes and zesty citrus sour cream, shredded cheese, and crisp lettuce. These mouthwatering tacos are fun to make and packed with delicious flavor. Enjoy!

  1. Nice blog! I got here after reading your alligator article. I was wondering how you came on to be accepted as a contributing writer for the Avenue? I'd like to give it a shot. I wish I could go to CIA after college. That seems like a lot of fun. Good luck!
