GRINGO CHICKEN TACOS image

The owner of a cafe here in our little town made these, but were very spicy. My sister and I would ask her to make us some, not so hot, so she began calling them "Gringo Chicken Tacos". They were on her menu like this. She is gone now, but we love these tacos.

I'm not a big fan of tacos, but these were really good! The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the toppings were all fresh and delicious. I especially liked the avocado crema. I would definitely make these again.

These tacos were a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. He said the chicken was perfectly cooked and the flavors were amazing. I would make them again, but I would use less chili powder.
