Cilantro Lime Tacos

When my husband was living in Grand Cayman for med school, his roommate Chantell made these cilantro lime tacos. They were awesome! Since then I have made her tacos at home many times. This week, I decided to try to make the tacos in the slow cooker, and it turned out perfectly!

Ingredients: (Serves 5)

1lb Boneless Chicken Breast

1/4 tsp Lemon Pepper

1/2 tsp Garlic Salt

1 1/2 c Salsa

2 Limes, sliced

1 c Cilantro, chopped

1 Red Onion, Sliced

Taco Shells

1/4 Head of Green Cabbage

Shredded Cheese (Optional)

Light Sour Cream (Optional)

Place chicken in the slow cooker. Add lemon pepper and garlic salt. Top with 3/4 c onions and 1/2 c cilantro.

Pour salsa on top.


Cook on Low for 6 hours.

Use a spatula to chop/shred the chicken in the slow cooker. This is much easier than cutting the chicken before cooking.

Add the rest of the onion (1/4 c) and cilantro (1/2 c) to the slow cooker. Squeeze 1/2 of a lime in the slow cooker and stir. Cover for an additional 5 minutes.

In the meantime, chop the cabbage and toast the shells in the oven. (not sure why this is underlined. LOL)

Put the taco meat in the shell and top with the cabbage and lime juice. I served the tacos with shredded mozzarella and light sour cream as well.

I love these tacos! It is a completely different taste than our traditional tacos. It is such a refreshing meal.
