Blackened Chicken Tacos
Intro
Ingredients
1/4 cup Blackening Rub
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts - cut into 1 inch strips
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 avocados, diced
2 cups pineapple, cubed
Quick Pickled Onions - see recipe tip
1/2 cup sour cream
1 lime, zested and juiced
12 tortillas
Fresh Cilantro
Directions
1. In a shallow bowl ( I prefer a pie plate) add the Blackening Rub and the chicken strips, toss to coat.
2. Heat a large cast iron skillet or non-stick sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned, about 3 minutes on each side or until internal temperature reaches 160ºF.
3. Transfer the chicken from the pan to a serving platter. Using the same pan, add the pineapple and cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until slightly charred.
4. Transfer the pineapple to the platter with the chicken. In the same pan add tortillas, heat the tortillas one at a time to warm.
5. In a small bowl combine the sour cream, lime juice, and zest to make the lime crema. Add the warmed tortillas, avocado, cilantro, and pickled red onions to the platter. Enjoy.
