Chicken Tacos with Avocado Creme

by Natasha on August 30, 2011 in dinner 101

Can someone tell me the difference between a sauce being called “cream” and “creme”? Creme sounded fancier & these are some dolled up avocados so I went for it.

It’s not a very complicated meal but the sweetness of the mayo gives such a nice compliment to the spice of the taco meat & tang of the lime juice that this dish tastes a heck of a lot classier than plain ol’ taco tuesday.

The taco meat is ground chicken that I added to a pan of sauteed onions & then mixed with taco seasoning & a little bit of water. (chicken doesn’t render the same fat that beef does so you’ll need the moisture to mix the sauce) I toasted the corn tortillas in a dry, very hot skillet for about 30 seconds each side. The tacos have shredded lettuce, cheddar cheese & the avocado creme below. I would’ve thrown some halved grape tomatoes in there too but Sophie ran out of patience.

Avocaodo Creme:

2 avocados peeled, pitted & cubed

1/4cu cilantro, chopped

1 garlic clove, peeled & grated (I rub mine on a small holed cheese grater)

3 tbs light mayo

1/4 tsp salt

juice of 1 lime (2 if they aren’t very juicy)

Combine all ingredients & blend well with a hand mixer until smooth. Taste & add salt if needed. Spoon mixture into a ziploc baggie, cut off the bottom tip of the baggie & squeeze along assembled tacos. Receive massive amount of praise from eaters & try to remain humble.

      Nope. I don’t think so at least…to me it just makes it taste like a sweet guacamole. Have you ever had an aioli sauce? It’s kind of like that…
