May means Cinco de Mayo! To me, that always includes fabulous Mexican-style dishes. After all, you can’t have a real celebration without delicious food. Luckily, my husband is pretty food-savvy when it comes to fabulous creations!
His recent creation, Chicken Mango Tacos, was a dinnertime hit. It wasn’t a difficult process to make, but using fresh ingredients made all the difference. The best part is that you don’t have to measure ingredients. It really is a recipe that you get to enjoy based on your preferences!
Chicken Mango Tacos
You will need:
- Chicken thighs
- Ginger ale
- Avocado
- Mango
- Onion
- Quinoa
- Cheese {shredded}
- Lime juice
- Soft tortillas
- Sour cream
Create a marinade using the ginger ale and lime juice. Marinade in the fridge for several hours, or overnight.
To prepare, cook chicken thighs thoroughly. Once cooked, shred the chicken off the bone. Set aside.
Chop mango, onion and avocado into small cubes.
Prepare quinoa as directed. Once cooked, mix quinoa with the mango/onion/avocado mix.
Fill tortillas with a combination of chicken, mango/onion/avocado/quinoa mix, sour cream and cheese.
Enjoy!
