Skinny Saucy Chicken Taco

Skinny Saucy Chicken Taco

Posted 2014-11-19 by GiGi GMV follow
As much as I love Mexican food it is not known to be particularly healthy. However, taco can be quite healthy if we tweak the normal recipe a bit.



This is a healthy grilled chicken taco loaded with fresh and nutritious salad. It contains asparagus, coriander, shallot, tomato, cucumber and guacamole.

I am only using small amount of meat and a lot of vegetables to make my taco more satisfying and less greasy.



Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Makes: 4 servings



Ingredients
12 taco shells
500g chicken thigh fillets
3 tablespoon taco seasoning
4 tablespoon salsa
1 bunch of asparagus
150g fresh coriander
2 truss tomato
2 cucumber
1 avocado
50g green shallot
1/2 lemon
100g cheese
2 tablespoon cooking oil
Salt and pepper

Method
  • Dice the chicken thigh fillets and marinate with taco seasoning and salsa sauce overnight.
  • Season with salt and pepper



  • Thoroughly wash the fresh coriander, green shallot, cucumber, tomato and asparagus and leave to dry.



  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a fry pan over medium heat. Add the asparagus and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until softened.
  • Season with light salt and remove from heat.



  • In the same pan, add the remaining oil and pan-fry the marinated chicken fillets until caramelized.



  • Whilst the chicken is cooking, finely chop the coriander, green shallot, tomato and cucumber.
  • Place each ingredient on individual plate.



  • Mash up a avocado, season with lemon juice and smoky paprika.
  • Heat the taco shell in the oven for 5 minutes.
  • Spoon the grilled chicken pieces into warmed taco shells. Add the salad toppings.



  • Garnish with some cheese.
  • Serve with a scoop of guacamole on the top.
