Ingredients
3 tbsp. Mayonnaise (like Duke’s or Hellman’s)
3 tbsp. plain Greek Yogurt (full-fat)
2 tbsp. minced Shallot
1 tbsp. (heaping) finely chopped Parsley
1 tbsp. (heaping) finely chopped Cilantro
1 small clove Garlic (pressed or grated)
1 tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 tsp. Red Wine Vinegar
1/2 tsp. Kosher Salt
2 tsp. Avocado Oil
8 oz. Chicken Breast
1/2 tsp. Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp. Kosher Salt
1/2 tsp. freshly cracked Black Pepper
1 small Jalapeno (thinly sliced)
1/4 cup finely chopped Red Onion
1 tbsp. finely chopped Cilantro
6 small Flour Tortillas (about 5″ in diameter)
1 1/2 cups shredded Romaine Lettuce (or your favorite greens)
1/4 cup thinly sliced Red Onion
1/2 medium Avocado (sliced or diced)
1/3 cup crumbled Feta Cheese
Instructions
- Make the Creamy Chimichurri Sauce: In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, minced shallot, parsley, cilantro, olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, and kosher salt. Whisk thoroughly and adjust seasoning if needed. Set aside.
- Season the Chicken: Mix garlic powder, kosher salt, and cracked black pepper in a small bowl. Rub the seasoning all over the chicken breast and let it rest for about 10 minutes.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat avocado oil in a pan over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side until browned and the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let it rest for 5 minutes before shredding it.
- Assemble the Tacos: Warm the tortillas. Layer the shredded chicken, romaine lettuce, red onion, avocado, and feta cheese on each tortilla. Drizzle generously with creamy chimichurri sauce.
- Serve immediately, garnished with additional cilantro if desired.
Notes
- Vegetarian Option: Use sautéed vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, or zucchini instead of chicken.
- Spicy Kick: Add more jalapeños or a spicy salsa for extra heat.
- Alternative Sauces: Sour cream, guacamole, or spicy mayo can replace chimichurri.
- Store leftover chicken and sauce in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Reheat chicken on the stovetop or in the microwave before assembling tacos.
