Old El Paso Farmers Market Fresh GIVEAWAY! 8/24

One of my favorite things about this time of year is enjoying super fresh produce with my family. There's nothing better than fresh, locally sourced fruits and veggies. I actually attempted a garden this year for the first time, and I must have done something horribly wrong, because none of my seeds sprouted. (Guess I need Gardening for Dummies....Does that even exist?)

So because I apparently have a Black Thumb, the farmer's market is a weekly stop for us. We have a couple of amazing ones here in the area, and there is never a shortage of delicious things to choose from. I love getting a large assortment of goods and incorporating them into our everyday meals.

Recently, I picked up some tomatoes, cilantro, limes, lettuce, and some various peppers. I knew these ingredients would make some amazing chicken lime soft tacos with freshly made salsa. We love Mexican food, since there are so many yummy possibilities. Plus, many Mexican dishes can be made in minutes with the help of Old El Paso dinner kits, such as the Fajita Dinner Kit!

Our chicken lime soft tacos were amazing, and so easy to make. Here's my recipe:

---

Chicken Lime Soft Tacos

• 1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast
  
• 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  
• 1/2 lime, juiced
  
• 1 1/4 teaspoon white sugar
  
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  

• 2 cloves garlic, minced 
• 1 teaspoon Adobo seasoning
  
• 10 Old El Paso flour tortillas
  
• 1 tomato, diced
  
• 1/2 cup shredded lettuce
  
• 1 cup shredded cheese of choice
  
• 1/2 cup salsa (recipe follows)
  

Directions:

1. Saute chicken in a medium saucepan over medium high heat until cooked through. Add vinegar, lime juice, sugar, salt, pepper, garlic and Adobo. Simmer for 10 minutes.
   
2. Heat an iron skillet over medium heat. Place a tortilla in the pan, warm, and turn over to heat the other side. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Serve lime chicken mixture in warm tortillas topped with tomato, lettuce, cheese and salsa.

Salsa:

• 1 poblano pepper
  
• 3 cloves garlic, peeled
  
• 5 ripe tomatoes
  
• 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  

• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
  
• 2 tablespoons lime juice 
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• ground black pepper to taste

1. Place poblano pepper and garlic cloves on a medium baking sheet. Turning pepper frequently, broil at maximum distance from heat until browned, about 15 minutes.
2. In a food processor, place roasted pepper, roasted garlic, tomatoes, cilantro, cumin, chili powder and lime juice. Process using pulse setting until an evenly chunky texture is obtained. Chill until serving.
