I found these Grilled Chicken Tacos a few weeks ago and couldn’t wait to try it out. I changed the recipe a bit, mostly because we don’t have a grill, so we used our George Foreman, but you could also use a pan to grill the chicken up!
What You’ll Need:
What You’ll Need:
4 boneless chicken breasts cut into small pieces
1 large onion
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 cup of mayo
Juice from 1 lime
1 teaspoon hot sauce (used buffalo sauce)
2 large avocados
3 green onions minced
1 tablespoon cilantro
2 finely diced tomatoes
8 flour tortillas
Directions:
Directions:
+ In a large bowl combine ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon ground cumin and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Place the chicken pieces in the bowl to toss and coat with the seasoning.
+ In a small bowl mix together mayo, 2 tablespoons of lime juice, 1 teaspoon of hot sauce, ¼ teaspoon of cumin, stir in water 1 teaspoon at a time until the mixture can be drizzled.
+ In another bowl mix together the diced avocados, the finely diced tomatoes, minced green onions, 2 tablespoons of lime juice, 1 tablespoon of fresh cilantro, ¼ teaspoon of hot sauce, olive oil & salt to taste
+ This is where the recipe really differs since we didn’t use skewers. You want to brush the chicken with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper on the grill or pan. Place the chopped onions on the grill or pan to heat them and cook them up a bit.
+ While the chicken is cooking heat up the tortillas either in a pan or in the oven.
+Assemble your tacos, the mayo mixture is your sauce!
We added cheese because no taco is complete without cheese! Enjoy!

WOW! That sauce mixture sounds so yummy. And I love avocado! I will be trying this one out soon!!
I love tacos but don't make them often (occasionally my husband will make his fish tacos which are delish) but I really should try this recipe out!! Hope you're having a great week so far!

My favorite taco recipe is…literally any recipe ever. I've never met a taco I didn't like as long as it's not in a corn tortilla! Blech. That sauce looks incredible though! Must try.
Ohhh you know how much I love Mexican food! This sounds amazing and healthier than my usual chimichanga haha!

This sounds delicious! I love tacos so this is a win for me!
I could pretty much eat a variation of Mexican food every single night and those look so good! Sometimes I'll get a rotisserie chicken for tacos and it's a super easy less than 10 minute I'm starving meal. Looks so good!!!
Oh my yum! Gimme, gimme, gimme! Going to give this a try this week! Thanks for sharing, sweets. xo!
Holy deliciousness, this looks amazing! You had me at tacos and avocados 😀
There has been so much mexican food talk on blogs the past few days – I neeeeeed it now!!! these tacos look amazing!!
I'm not much of a meat eater, but these look really good! 😉

We're all about some chicken tacos at our house and I that avacado salsa just sounds incredible!
Chicken tacos are my favorite dinner!! And with avocado salsa? Yes please! Yum!
I would have to eliminate the mayo, but otherwise these sound delicious! Thank you so much for sharing. 🙂 I also think that you need a grill in your next place! 😉
YUM!!!! And the avocado salsa looks divine!
tacos and avocados–two of my FAVE things! must-try!
Yumm! That guac looks amazing- I make black bean tacos for dinner like every other day 🙂
Yum! I love me some chicken tacos, and these look delish
OMG! Yummy! You always post the best recipes!
George Foreman to the rescue!!! Yummo. I love fish tacos but have never tried at home. However, chicken ones happen about every other week in our house!!! Gonna try your recipe this week!!! xo

oooh they look phenomenal!!
Those tacos look delicious! Thank you for the inspiration. I have been struggling in the dinner category lately. Question: how long do you cook your chicken in the George Foreman? I have a Breville that is similar. Do you flatten the chicken or cut it in half lengthwise to cook faster? Does it stay tender cooking on that type of grill? Have a great day! xoxo, Traci

Oh my gosh that avocado topping looks SO good, I think I could probably eat that by the spoonful!
oh my gosh, anything tacos I'm in love with!
Tacos are one of my favorite foods. Delicious.
YUM! We normally make guacamole as a side dish. We may need to make more to add it actually to the tacos next time!

Love chicken tacos! That sauce looks so tasty. We just did ground turkey and black bean tacos last night 🙂 Winks and Eyerolls
Mmmmmmmmm! That avocado topping looks legit and I would never think to make it myself bc it sounds very impressive and difficult. Thanks for sharing. I think I could tackle that.
Oh good to know because we don't have a grill either! Our apartment won't let us have them 🙁 stinks…George Foreman to the rescue!!
taco, burrito, what's comin' out of your speedo? 😉
This sounds delicious! I wouldn't mind having some right now 🙂 Pinning for when I have a kitchen again!
Yummy! We are a big taco family. And that sauce looks so good! I'll for sure have to try these.
You can't go wrong with tacos and I love the idea to grill the meat! We usually do shredded when we have tacos, but this would be a nice change!
YUM! We have some chicken in the fridge we need to cook tonight. Maybe I'll make these! Thanks!

mmm…. Italian used to be my favorite genre of food. Mexican has taken it over. Mainly because of things like avocado salsa!!!
I'm not kidding when I say I could live on tacos… we have them ALL the time. That sauce sounds sooo good!
Taco Tuesday in full effect!! Awesome recipe!
These look phenomenal! I cannot wait to try that sauce!
We make tacos at least once a week – they are so quick and easy! I love this variation with chicken though – I bet that mayo sauce is sooo yummy!

Oooooh, these sound super delish!! Am I crazy for wanting to skip the skewers completely and just grill the whole slab of meat? I know you didn't grill yours, but it seems like so much work to cut up raw chicken, place on sticks, THEN grill, when it would taste just the same to grill the meat then cut it up after, ha ha!
YUMMMMMMM! I'm so going to try these!
Sounds delicious! I love making my chicken in my George Foreman grill too 🙂
The best part of this? Buffalo sauce and cilantro! Love the combo idea!
I so love tacos! Especially one with a LOT of cheese 🙂

nothing better than weeknight tacos!!
