Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2/3 cup Food Network Kitchen™ Inspirations Mexican Style Cilantro Lime Vinaigrette
1/4 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
16 corn tortillas
Shredded lettuce, diced red onion, sliced radishes, guacamole and whole cilantro leaves, for serving

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper in a large bowl. Then toss with 1/2 cup of the Mexican Style Cilantro Lime Vinaigrette. Marinate for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, stir together the sour cream with the remaining 2 tablespoons vinaigrette.
  • Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken along with the marinade and cook until slightly browned and cooked through, about 7 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and chop. Season with salt.
  • Warm the tortillas as the label directs. Using 2 stacked tortillas per taco, fill with the chicken, top with the cilantro-lime sour cream and the toppings of your choice.
