Smoky Chipotle Chicken Tacos with Radish Slaw


Chipotle Chicken Tacos with Radish Slaw and Lime-Cilantro Sour Cream


Ingredients


For the Chicken:

  • 2 chicken breasts

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced

  • 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, finely chopped

  • 2 tbsp almond butter

  • 2 tsp tamari sauce

  • 1/4 cup water


For the Radish Slaw:

  • 3-5 radishes, thinly sliced

  • 1 lime (juiced)

  • 1 tsp sweet pickled jalapeños, chopped

  • Pinch of salt


For the Lime-Cilantro Sour Cream:

  • 2 tbsp lime juice

  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped

  • 1/2 cup sour cream


For Serving:

  • Taco shells

  • Extra fresh cilantro for garnish

  • Optional: Cheese


Instructions


1. Cook and Shred the Chicken:

  • Place the chicken breasts in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer for 12–15 minutes or until fully cooked.

  • Remove the chicken, let it cool slightly, and shred using two forks.

2. Prepare the Radish Slaw:

  • In a small bowl, combine sliced radishes, lime juice, sweet pickled jalapeños, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and set aside to marinate.

3. Make the Chicken Filling:

  • In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the red onion in a bit of oil until softened, about 3–4 minutes.

  • Add the minced garlic and chopped chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, stirring for 1 minute until fragrant.

  • Stir in the almond butter, tamari sauce, and water to create a rich sauce.

  • Add the shredded chicken to the skillet, tossing to coat evenly in the sauce. Simmer for 2–3 minutes to let the flavors meld.

4. Prepare the Lime-Cilantro Sour Cream:

  • In a small bowl, mix sour cream with lime juice and chopped cilantro. Stir until well combined.

5. Assemble the Tacos:

  • Warm taco shells as desired.

  • Fill each shell with the chipotle chicken mixture, a scoop of radish slaw, and a dollop of lime-cilantro sour cream.

  • Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves for extra flavor.


Enjoy!
