Healthy Taco Recipe for Cinco de Mayo!

To celebrate Cinco de Mayo, I thought I would share a delicious taco recipe with you!

Ingredients:

2 cups of shredded (cooked) Chicken

1 1/2 tsp Chili Powder

1/2 tsp dried Oregano

1/2 tsp ground Cumin

1/2 tsp ground Coriander

1/4 tsp Sea Salt

1 tbsp Coconut Oil

2 tsp minced Garlic

3 finely chopped Green Onions

1/4 cup Chicken Broth

1 cup cooked Quinoa

1 cup cooked Black Beans (drained)

6-8 Corn Tortillas

1/2 cup chopped Grape Tomatoes

1/8 cup shredded Cheddar & Monterey Jack Cheese

1 lime for lime zest and juice

Instructions:

Step 1) Combine chicken, chili powder, oregano, cumin, coriander,  sea salt, quinoa and beans into a bowl. Set aside.

Step 2) Heat coconut oil on a skillet at a medium heat. Add minced garlic, half of the green onions, and Sauté for about a minute. Don’t over cook, since it will burn easily.

Step 3) Add chicken mixture and Chicken Broth to the skillet for about five minutes or until warm. The broth will absorb into the chicken mixture and allow for the mix not to dry out while cooking on the stove.

Step 4) Spoon chicken mixture into tortillas. Top with tomatoes and some cheese. Top tacos with the remaining green onions and lime zest to use as a garnish. Squeeze lime juice on tacos, as desired.

Notes:

This recipe allows you to try making tacos from scratch rather than ordering from a restaurant. This way, you know exactly what you are eating, and there’s no mystery meat involved.

If you prefer a Vegetarian Taco, try tofu instead of chicken. It will work well with this recipe!
