Servings 12 taco cups

Ingredients

  • 250 g boneless chicken cut into cubes
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon red chili powder
  • A pinch of ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 9 tortillas 3 multigrain and 6 corn tortillas
  • 1 avocado stoned and chopped
  • 1 tomato chopped
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup sour cream

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 180 C.
  • Combine together minced garlic, ground coriander, ground cumin, red chili powder,ground black pepper, a little water and enough salt in a small bowl. Marinate chicken for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
  • Meanwhile heat oil in a frying pan over medium - high heat. Add chicken to the pan. When one side is done, flip over to cook the other side. Shred cooked chicken. Set aside.
  • Heat the tortillas following the packet directions. Use a large cookie cutter to cut big, round circles out of the tortillas. (I cut out 2 circles from each multigrain tortilla, and 1 from each corn tortilla).
  • Place the circles in a 12 hole muffin tin. Push them inside gently to form little baskets. Place the tin in the oven, and bake for 10 minutes. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
  • To make the salsa: Combine avocados, tomatoes, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
  • To assemble the taco cups: Fill the cups first with chicken and then the salsa. Top with a teaspoon of sour cream.

Notes

-If you want to make this less spicy, replace red chili powder with paprika.
-You can use your favorite type of tortilla in this recipe.
-If you do not like sour cream, remember yogurt makes a great substitute.
