Ingredients
Spicy Chicken
- 1+½ Pounds Chicken Breast
- ¼ Cup Plain Coconut Yogurt Any plain yogurt will work with this recipe!
- ¼ Cup Fresh Cilantro
- ½ Lime, Juiced
- ½ Teaspoon Salt
- ½ Teaspoon Chili Powder
- ¼ Teaspoon Cumin
- ¼ Teaspoon Paprika
- ½ Teaspoon Garlic Powder
Tacos
- 8 Gluten-Free Tortillas I used Siete Cassava Flour Wraps.
- 3 Corn on the Cob
- ¼ Cup Red Onion, Chopped
Creamy Sauce
- 3 Tablespoons Chipotle Mayo I used Primal Kitchen Chipotle Lime Mayo.
- 2 Tablespoons Plain Coconut Yogurt Any plain yogurt will work!
- ¼ Teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
Marinating Chicken
- Pat dry chicken breast and add to a mixing bowl with lime juice, coconut yogurt, chopped cilantro, chili powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and garlic powder.
- Stir together until chicken is completely coated. Let the chicken chill in the refrigerator for a minimum of 30 minutes.
Preparing Corn on the Cob
- Next, peel the husk straight down on each corn on the cob. Do not remove the husk as this will serve as a handle for grilling. You can leave as is or tie the husk together with string to create a stronger "handle."
Grilling
- Preheat grill to about 375-400 degrees. Place the corn on the grill first. It takes about 15 minutes on each side. (It should be charred.)
- Cook the chicken for about 8 minutes on each side or until cooked through.
Creamy Sauce
- To make the creamy sauce, add chipotle mayo, coconut yogurt, and paprika into a bowl. Use a whisk to blend until smooth and creamy.
Assembling Tacos
- Prepare corn by removing the husk. Cut down the cob with a sharp knife to remove the grilled kernels.
- Cut grilled chicken into slices, chop red onion, and warm tortillas.
- Assemble tacos by adding chicken, grilled corn, red onion, and creamy sauce. You can also add avocado, guacamole, lime juice, and fresh cilantro.
Notes
Expert Tips
