- 2 lime juiced, divided
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 ½ tablespoons cilantro finely chopped, fresh
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ tablespoons vegetable oil if not using a grill
- 2 cups romaine lettuce shredded
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 avocado pitted, peeled, and sliced
- 8 corn tortilla store-bought or homemade, warmed, or flour tortillas
Instructions
Chicken Marinade:

Cup of Yum
Cilantro Sauce:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, remaining juice of 1 lime, cilantro, and salt. Cover and refrigerate while you make the tacos.
Honey Sriracha drizzle:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of Sriracha and the remaining 2 teaspoons of honey and set aside.
Cook the Chicken:
- Preheat a grill or heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, flip, and cook on the other side for 5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165F. Discard the marinade.
- Transfer the chicken to a plate or board and rest until cool enough to handle. With two forks, shred the chicken.
- Assemble the tacos by layering the chicken, lettuce, cheese, and avocado on the tortillas. Drizzle the cilantro sour cream on top and finish with a single drizzle of spicy honey-Sriracha sauce.
