These tacos are simple to prepare and delicious. You can mix and match your favorite proteins and flavors to create them just the way you like. They are perfect for a flavorful Mexican weeknight dinner or a quick lunch or appetizer by the pool with some margaritas, making them ideal for Cinco de Mayo. I made mine with pre-marinated chicken, added onions and peppers, and topped them with cheese and a cilantro lime crema. I made a homemade Cilantro Lime Crema, but I noticed that Costco sells a ready-made version, so choose your favorite.

🌮Here’s what you’ll need:

• Boneless chicken thighs (seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and oregano).
• Sliced sweet bell peppers and onions (feel free to throw in jalapeños or serranos if you like some heat!)
• Salt, pepper, dried oregano, paprika and a dash of ground cinnamon
• Flour tortillas
• Olive oil
• Sour cream
• Fresh cilantro
• Lime
• Grated cheese like a combination of cheddar or Mexican blend
• Sheet pan
• Parchment paper

🌮Let’s get cooking!

1. Start by prepping your sheet pan with some parchment paper.
2. Cook your chicken and veggies, seasoning the veggies with salt and pepper to taste. Sear the chicken on both sides. Mix everything and sprinkle in about 1/4 teaspoon of paprika and a pinch of cinnamon. Cook until the chicken is tender, then taste it to adjust the seasoning as needed.
3. While that’s happening, preheat your oven to 400°F and let’s make that crema! In a blender, combine 1 cup of sour cream, a handful of roughly chopped cilantro, the juice of half a lime, and 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
4. Now, brush both sides of your tortillas with olive oil. Load them up with the chicken and some cheese, fold them closed, and add a bit more cheese on top.
5. Pop those tacos in the oven and bake for about 12-14 minutes, or until they’re golden and the cheese is nice and bubbly. Serve with the cilantro crema drizzled on top, some fresh cilantro, and a wedge of lime. You can have some pico de gallo and guacamole for dipping.
