Ingredients

For garlic cilantro lime sauce:

  • 1/4 cup oil
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/2 cup cilantro leaves
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • juice of 2 limes
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or full-fat Greek yogurt

For chicken tacos:

  • 8 Tyson Crispy Chicken Strips
  • 2-3 cups shredded green cabbage
  • 8 small tortillas, corn or flour
  • 1-2 smashed avocados, Cotija cheese, and lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  • Chicken strips: Preheat oven to 400°F. Place frozen strips on baking sheet. Heat 18-20 minutes.
  • Sauce: Pulse all the sauce ingredients in a food processor or blender until mostly smooth.
  • Slaw: Toss some of the sauce (not all) with the cabbage. Leftover sauce will be used to top the tacos.
  • Assembly: Assemble tacos in this order for easier eating: smashed avocado, slaw, and chicken strips. Finish with Cotjia cheese, lime wedges, and extra sauce.

Notes

Honestly, when we make these chicken tacos there are so many good things topping them off I usually just serve the tacos! But if you’re feeling ambitious, a good cilantro lime rice or quinoa would make a delicious side!
You could also serve these with some good homemade refried beans or an easy salad.
