CILANTRO & LIME CHICKEN WITH SCOOPS

Cilantro & Lime Chicken with Scoops image

I came up with this recipe when I was preparing for a large party and I wanted a healthy Tex-Mex chicken to serve in tortilla cups. You can make this party dish ahead of time to free yourself for time-sensitive dishes. Serve it in tortilla chip cups or any other savory crispy cup you like. Enjoy leftovers over salad greens or wrapped up in tender tortillas for burritos. - Lori Terry, Chicago, Illinois
