Number Of Ingredients 16

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1/4-inch strips
3/4 teaspoon dried ancho chile powder (can sub 3/4 teaspoon dried chipotle powder)
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
cooking spray (or a swipe of vegetable oil)
1/8 teaspoon grated lime zest
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, divided
1/4 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 ripe peeled avocado, diced
2 cups angel hair Coleslaw
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onion
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 (6 inch) corn tortillas (or flour tortillas)

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over high heat. Sprinkle chicken evenly with chile powder, garlic salt, and cumin. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add chicken to pan; cook 4 - 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove chicken from pan.
  • Combine zest, 1 tablespoon juice and sour cream, milk and avocado in a blender or food processor; process until smooth.
  • Combine remaining 1 tablespoon lime juice, coleslaw, green onions, cilantro, oil and salt, tossing to coat.
  • Heat tortillas according to directions. (Note: If using flour tortillas, those taste best crisped in a saute pan.) Divide chicken mixture evenly among tortillas. Top each tortilla with about 1 tablespoon avocado mixture and 1/4 cup slaw mixture.
