Cilantro Lime Chicken Tacos

I've seen this picture/recipe posted on Pinterest quite a few times, so I thought I'd give it a try. Except, instead of using my crockpot, I put all the ingredients in a pan with my precooked shredded chicken. It made up so fast! It was really good, and we finished it all off. I did add more lime juice than it asked for, and I thought it needed some salt.

Here's how I made it: (for the crockpot version, click here)

2 cups cooked shredded chicken
4 Tbs lime juice
1 bunch of cilantro, chopped
1(16 oz) bag of frozen corn
1/2 red onion, chopped
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 tsp cumin
salt and pepper to taste

I put all the ingredients in a large saucepan and heated it on medium-low until everything was nice and hot.


When it was heated thoroughly, I served it on warm tortillas with cheese, salsa and sour cream. Jayson gave it 2 thumbs up and said it tasted a little like Chipotle w/o the rice (which, he added, wasn't missed). I don't think I would make this in a crockpot . . . but if someone does will you let me know how it turns out?

Pat says if it tastes like Chipotle that's an insult to your cooking.

Chipotle is Jayson's favorite restaurant. He compares everything to Chipotle. :) Even me.
