Cilantro Pesto Tacos

I first found this recipe on Pinterest, and made them for an "Iron Chef" date night. After quite a few revisions, they quickly became a favorite recipe for me. When I made them this summer, my little brother loved them! He claimed that they were the best tacos he had ever eaten. And that was coming from an extremely picky teenage boy. Here's the darn recipe for Michael's favorite tacos:



Cilantro Pesto Tacos
3 chicken breasts, cut into bite sized pieces
1 cup fresh cilantro leaves (do not include stems)

3 tablespoons chopped, fresh garlic
1 1/2 teaspoon lime juice
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan
2 1/2 teaspoon chicken boullion
1/4 cup water

Garnishes:

Grilled onions and peppers
Black Beans
Sour Cream
Salsa

1. Blend together the cilantro, garlic, lime juice, Parmesan, boullion, and water. 
2. In a skillet, cook chicken with salt, pepper, and a little minced garlic in about a teaspoon or two of olive oil. Once cooked through, add the cilantro pesto until heated. 
3. Serve with warm tortillas and taco garnishes.
