Equipment
- pan
- oven
Ingredients
- 16 pieces flour tortillas
- 4 pounds boneless skinless chicken thigh meat
- 4 juiced limes
- 4 diced Roma tomatoes
- 4 minced cloves garlic
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar Cheese
- 4 tablespoons taco seasoning mix
- 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 shredded head iceberg lettuce
For The Secret Sauce
- 2 tablespoon milk
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoon lime juice
Instructions
- Begin by marinating the chicken in a mixture of lime juice, diced tomatoes, minced garlic, and taco seasoning mix. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the tortillas on a baking sheet and warm them in the oven for 5 minutes.
- Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add vegetable oil. Once hot, add the marinated chicken and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked.
- While the chicken is cooking, make the secret sauce by mixing together milk, mayonnaise, and lime juice in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pan and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
- Assemble the tacos by placing a few slices of chicken onto each warmed tortilla. Top with shredded lettuce, crumbled cheese, and a drizzle of the secret sauce.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Del Taco Chicken Soft Tacos!
Notes
• For a healthier version, use whole wheat tortillas instead of soft tacos.
• If you want to change up the flavor, try adding different seasonings or spices such as cayenne pepper or smoked paprika.
• To make the tacos spicier, add a few dashes of hot sauce or diced jalapeno peppers.
• To make the tacos more filling, add black beans, corn, or diced bell peppers.
• For a crunchy topping, sprinkle shredded cheese, crushed tortilla chips, or diced avocado over the tacos.
