Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts,
- 4 tablespoons Sriracha sauce, divided
- 1 tablespoon + 2 teaspoons honey, divided
- 2 limes, juiced, divided
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 ½ tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ tablespoons vegetable oil, if not using a grill
- 2 cups shredded romaine lettuce
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1 avocado, pitted, peeled, and sliced
- 8 Corn or flour tortillas, store-bought or homemade, warmed
Instructions
Marinate the chicken:
- Put the chicken breasts in an airtight container or zip-top bag plastic bag. Add 3 tablespoons of the Sriracha, 1 tablespoon of honey, and the juice of 1 lime juice. Mix to combine, seal, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Make the 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.
Make the 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:
- 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.
