In my house, every day is Taco Tuesday! We love to gather our favorite toppings and have SOME version of a Mexican food. Today I am sharing an awesome cilantro lime chicken tacos recipe that will take Taco Tuesday to the next level! 
This is a healthier version of chicken tacos so we won’t be using any sour cream and we will be using flour tortillas instead of white corn tortillas. Made with fresh lime juice these tasty tacos will easily become one of your favorite healthy recipes.
You will be using boneless skinless chicken breasts which is always a great healthy protein (We make our chicken tenders with this too!). The grat thing about this recipe is that you can customize with your favorite taco toppings such a cotija cheese, black beans, avocado crema, pico de gallo or red onions. 
This is also a great recipe that is an easy prep meal for the week.
