Grilled Chicken Tacos

Grilled Chicken Tacos

Kabobs take pride of place in tortillas topped with a salad that echoes Greece

by Michele Thompson

For a fusion taco experience, grilled chicken kabobs are a treat to pull apart and stuff in tortillas along with colorful shredded fruit and vegetables. The tangy yogurt and feta cheese gives these tacos great global taste.

Ingredients:

1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
3 tablespoons olive oil
1-1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast, cubed
1 apple, cored, grated
2 carrots, grated
2 green onions, chopped (green and white parts)
1 cup fresh spinach leaves, finely sliced
8 corn or (small) flour tortillas, warmed
Plain Greek yogurt
Crumbled feta cheese

Directions:

1. Preheat grill to medium high. In a large bowl, whisk together spices and olive oil. Add chicken and toss well to coat.

2. Thread chicken pieces onto skewers (if using wooden, soak in water for 30 minutes before using). Grill for 7 to 9 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Remove, tent with foil and keep warm until ready to serve.

3. Meanwhile, in a bowl, toss together apple, carrots, greens onions and spinach. Place apple mixture on table along with tortillas, bowls of yogurt and feta, and skewers of chicken. To serve, let your kids fill tortillas with chicken and apple mixture, garnishing with yogurt and feta.
