Yield: 6-8 tacos

Ingredients

Chicken

• 2 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
• 3 Tablespoon Sriracha sauce
• 1 Tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon lime juice
• Salt to taste

Tacos

• 6-8 taco shells
• 1 avocado, peeled and pitted
• 1-2 cups mixed greens

2. Prepare the chicken on stovetop via skillet or on the grill, making sure it is cooked thoroughly. Once cooked, use forks to shred for easy handling. 
3. Add the shredded chicken to each taco shell and top with diced avocado, mixed greens, and green onions. 
4. In a small bowl, combine all ingredients for the sauce and mix well and top each taco with the sour cream sauce.
