Chipotle Lime Chicken Dumpling Tacos are a delicious and unique twist on traditional tacos. These tacos are packed with flavor and are sure to be a hit with your family and friends. The key to making these tacos is the combination of chipotle and lime, which gives the chicken dumplings a smoky and tangy flavor.
To make these tacos, you will need the following ingredients:
For the chicken dumplings:
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon chipotle powder
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the tacos:
- 8-10 small tortillas
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup diced red onion
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- 1/2 cup crumbled queso fresco
- Lime wedges for serving
To start, mix together the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, chipotle powder, lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Form the mixture into small dumplings, about the size of a golf ball.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of oil. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken dumplings and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until browned on all sides and cooked through.
To assemble the tacos, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or in the microwave. Place a few chicken dumplings on each tortilla and top with diced tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and crumbled queso fresco. Squeeze a lime wedge over each taco before serving.
These Chipotle Lime Chicken Dumpling Tacos are a perfect combination of smoky, tangy, and savory flavors. The chicken dumplings are juicy and flavorful, and the toppings add a fresh and bright element to the dish. These tacos are perfect for a weeknight dinner or for entertaining guests.
