One of My Heart Beats NM's readers sent me this recipe, and as usual I did not follow it exactly, but I did have a fun time making these tacos. Tacos are my favorite food, and I have no idea why I haven't shared more taco recipes, anyway here it is the recipe for Grilled Chicken Tacos with Black bean Salsa: Here is what you will need for the Chicken: 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts As much green chile as you would like 3 Tablespoons olive oil 2 green onions ends trimmed 2 garlic cloves 4 Tablespoons fresh lime juice 1 Tablespoon chile powder 1 Tablespoon fresh cilantro chopped 2 teaspoons salt 1 teaspoon black pepper Directions: Add all ingredients except chicken to a blender or food processor or in my case the magic bullet (Thanks mom!) to combine. Place the chicken in a gallon ziplock bag and pour the chile lime marinade on top. Turn the bag over a few times to coat well. Refrigerate and allow the chicken to marinate for 6-8 hours. (I kept mine refrigerated for 24 hours.) Preheat grill to 425 degrees. Remove chicken from the bag and place directly on the grill grates. Toss out the remaining marinade. Grill chicken 4-5 minutes on each side, flipping only once, or until fully cooked. Allow the chicken to rest for 4-5 minutes before slicing and serving. Black Bean Salsa:
1 can whole kernel fire-roasted corn blend, drained 1 can black beans, drained Tomatoes, finely chopped 1 fresh jalapeño, and finely chopped 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil Salt and black pepper to taste Directions: In large bowl, mix corn, beans, tomatoes and jalapeño, oil, salt and pepper. Refrigerate for 15 minutes. Making the tacos: 1 package Tortillas warmed on a comal or just the stove Add grilled and fully cooked chicken breast strips Guacamole (my cousin ate the avocados. Sad Drea, is sad!) Cilantro Black bean salsa. Taco lovers, I hope you like this recipe! My mom tried the meat this morning and she loved it! What's great about this recipe, is you can use the leftovers for other meals not just tacos. Side note, it's overall a healthy meal! As usual if you try this recipe, send me pictures!
