There are so many different ways to make tacos but lime chicken tacos are some of the best. These tacos are a delicious and light meal, great for summertime. The flavors of lime and various seasonings blend perfectly with the chicken. You can cook the chicken just in the pan or leave it whole, grill it, slice it and then transfer it into the pan for a few minutes. These delicious tacos will only take about 30 minutes total to prepare. Some of the condiments you could add are lettuce, tomato, salad, sour cream or whatever you like. If you are looking for a nice and refreshing change from your normal tacos, give this recipe a try. Enjoy.

In my country (Honduras), flour tortilla tacos are a very popular street snack, filled with spread of refried beans, salty sourcream and avocado. other toppings for this taco are shreded quesillo-cheese, scrambled eggs with meat and pickled onions with jalapeños! people absolutely love them and many have them from street vendors for breakfast with a sip of "horchata" drink. they are called "Baleadas".
