Cilantro-Lime Crema
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
- ½ teaspoon coarse Kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Dash garlic powder
For the Cilantro-Lime Crema: Stir together all ingredients until well combined. Set aside for the tacos.
For the corn tortillas: If you have a gas stove, turn the burner on high. Working in batches, place one tortilla on each burner that you have available. Cook, for 30-60 seconds on each side, or until it begins to brown.
If you do not have a gas stove, you can place a bit of avocado oil or butter in a small skillet over medium-high heat, and crisp the tortillas for 1-2 minutes on each side, until golden brown. You may also use the broiler setting of your oven. Turn the broiler on high, and place the tortillas in the oven, about 4 inches from the heat source. Cook for about 2 minutes, and flip. Cook for 2 more minutes, or until the tortillas are lightly browned and crispy.
To assemble the tacos: Place about ⅓ cup of Dutch Oven Shredded Chicken onto the crispy tortillas. Top with about ⅓ cup Fajita Vegetables and about 1 tablespoon of Cilantro-Lime Crema. Top with a few fresh cilantro leaves, and enjoy!
- Extra flavor: When making your Dutch Oven Shredded Chicken, add taco seasoning or a mix of chili powder, garlic salt, onion powder, cumin, and paprika to make these chicken fajita tacos extra flavorful.
- How to store: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Store each component separately.
