Lime Chicken Soft Tacos

The recipe for these lime chicken tacos has been a favorite of mine and my husband's for a while now. I found the original recipe on allrecipes.ca (big surprise) but I've modified it a little bit here and there to suit our tastes a little more. Here's what you need:
 2-3 chicken breasts (it makes enough for my husband and I and for leftovers for lunch the next day)
 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
 1/8 cup red wine vinegar
 juice from half a lime
 a little bit of lime zest
 1 teaspoon sugar
 1/2 teaspoon salt
 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
 1 teaspoon oregano
 3 cloves of garlic
 3-4 green onions, chopped
 small flour tortillas (I use the fajita size)
 any other toppings you want (lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, cheese, avocados, salsa, etc.)

To start, cut your chicken into little bite size pieces. They're going to go into a taco shell so you don't want them to be too huge. Heat the oil up in a pan on medium high heat and cook the chicken pieces until their a nice golden color. This takes about 15-20 mins. While your chicken is cooking prep all your ingredients, like so...

I like to prep them this way ahead of time so that when the chicken is ready I'm not wasting any time getting all the flavors in there.

I like to get all of the liquids (lime juice and red wine vinegar) in first and cook the chicken for about a minute first before I add all of the other stuff (sugar, salt, pepper, garlic, green onions, oregano, lime zest).

Let everything simmer together until all of the liquid is absorbed, about 5-10 minutes. Once that's done, you're ready!

There you have it. I always make guacamole to serve on the tacos and I usually have lettuce but unfortunately our lettuce was not up to par this time. Oh well! I also used a corn tortilla here but I find them too dry sometimes so that's why I usually stick to flour tortillas. With this I served a Mexican type rice that I was not that excited about so I decided not to share it. ;) I sometimes serve corn bread with this which is just to die for, however it takes an hour in the oven so on a weeknight it's obviously not the quickest option. There's a good chance that recipe will show up on this blog at some point though because I love you all and must share it with you.
Okay, that's it for now! Weeknight posts will tend to be short, stay tuned this weekend for a long one, ha.
