Skillet Lime Chicken Tacos

My husband has a demanding job that required him to work crazy late most nights. I eat dinner alone most weeknights so it is important to find meals that either I can eat alone or reheat well for him later on. Unfortunately I am often lacking motivation to make these meals when I can pick up a slice of pizza or grab a sandwich. I don't envy people who live alone- I think I would eat take out nightly if I lived alone! With that said I have been eating take out way too much lately so I decided it's time to get back in the kitchen and get serious. Not only does it save money but it also is a much healthier option.

I have made lime chicken tacos before and really enjoyed them. When I came across this recipe I was fixated on the picture of the soft taco in the blog post linked below. It reminded me of a delicious wrap! I made these for just myself and I LOVED them. I just used one thin chicken breast and small amounts of the remaining ingredients. These blew the other lime chicken tacos out of the water. I love the taste the vinegar adds. Yum Yum. Best of all they were easy, healthy, low-fat, and full of flavor. I know John would love these so I'll have to make them for him one night soon.
