Chipotle Chicken Tacos with Spicy Sauce
These Chipotle Chicken Tacos have tender chicken cooked with smoky spices and chipotle adobo sauce, then tucked into warm street-taco tortillas and finished with a creamy, spicy drizzle.
Ingredients
For the tacos:
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons chipotle adobo sauce from the jar
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- street-taco flour tortillas
- cilantro, shredded lettuce, black beans optional toppings
For the sauce:
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon chipotle adobo sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons lime juice
- 1-2 teaspoons water to thin, if necessary
Instructions
- Heat a pan over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the chopped chicken, adobo sauce, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and lime juice. Stir to coat the chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
