Ingredients

SPICY YOGURT SAUCE
1 clove garlic
1/4 tsp salt
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 c non-fat or low fat plain yogurt
1 to 1 1/2 Tbsp taco or fajita seasoning
LIME CHICKEN MIXTURE
1 1/2 lb skinless, boneless chicken breast, cubed
1/8 c red wine vinegar
1/2 lime, juiced
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp salt
2 green onions, chopped
2 clove garlic, minced
5 Tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
10 6 inch flour tortillas
EXTRAS
1 tomato, diced
shredded lettuce
mexican blend shredded cheese
2-3 limes, quartered

Steps:

1. To make Spicy Yogurt Sauce, with a large knife press garlic and salt together until a smooth paste forms. Place in a small bowl with olive oil; mix well. Stir in yogurt and taco seasoning. Cover; chill 30 minutes before serving.
2. Saute chicken in a medium saucepan over medium high heat for about 20 minutes. Add vinegar, lime juice, sugar, salt, pepper, green onion, garlic and cilantro. Simmer for an extra 10 minutes.
3. Heat an iron skillet over medium heat. Place a tortilla in the pan, warm, and turn over to heat the other side. Repeat with remaining tortillas. An alternate way of heating the tortillas in the oven: wrap the ten tortillas in foil and place in 150 degree oven until warm, approximately 10-15 minutes.
4. Serve lime chicken mixture in warm tortillas topped with tomato, lettuce, cheese and spicy yogurt sauce. We like to add the juice of one lime quarter on each of our tacos after it is put together.

Tips:

Prep your ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and measured. This will help you save time and ensure that your tacos are cooked evenly.
Use fresh limes: Fresh lime juice adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the chicken and tacos. If you don't have fresh limes, you can use bottled lime juice, but the flavor won't be as good.
Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken can easily become dry and tough if it's overcooked. Cook the chicken until it is just cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
Use soft taco shells: Soft taco shells are the best choice for these tacos because they are easy to fold and hold all the fillings. You can also use hard taco shells, but they are more likely to break when you fold them.
Load up on toppings: The best thing about tacos is that you can load them up with all your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include shredded lettuce, salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and cheese.

Conclusion:

These lime chicken soft tacos are a delicious and easy meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a fun weekend party. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of prep work, you can have these tacos on the table in no time. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying meal, give these lime chicken soft tacos a try. You won't be disappointed!
