Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and your choice of spices (like cumin, paprika, and chili powder). Grill the chicken over medium-high heat for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

  2. 2

    Cook the Rice and Beans

    In a pot, cook rice according to package instructions. In a separate pot, heat the black beans until warmed through. Season with salt and a squeeze of lime juice.

  3. 3

    Make the Cilantro Crema

    In a small bowl, mix together sour cream, chopped cilantro, and lime juice. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    Warm the flour tortillas on a skillet or in the microwave. Layer the sliced grilled chicken, lettuce, shredded cheddar, and cilantro crema on each tortilla. Top with black beans and a spoonful of red salsa.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Garnish with additional cilantro and lime wedges. Serve immediately and enjoy your street tacos!
