Street Tacos
The taco. For me, the best variation of a sandwich ever created. You have your tortilla stuffed with some form of protein, if you're a carnivore like myself, then topped with various Mexican condiments. A traditional "Street Taco" though, is modest at best; it normally consists of a corn tortilla, grilled meat, with a garnishing of cilantro y cebolla (shout out to Mrs. Greppi, my Spanish I teacher), that's it that's all. Since Mexican is always my go to meal, whether homemade or ordered out, I decided to prepare this quick and easy meal for tonight's dinner. I pan seared chicken thighs and breasts that had marinated in Adobo y Sazon, granulated Garlic, Lime Juice, and Olive Oil until a nice crust developed on each side, and set them aside while I cut the cilantro and onion. Once all of the condiments were prepped I diced the chicken into cubes and put it back into the pan in order to create a more uniform crusting while adding Cumin as a finishing touch. As you will see in the picture, I also used Crema, or Mexican Sour Cream; sour cream is a condiment that I cannot do without, we go through so much in my household so it's only natural that it made a cameo tonight. The best thing about this dish is it only topped out at 520 calories for 3 tacos! Enjoy!
