For the Final Topping

This is the preparation chart that makes it mildly medium difficult.
DIRECTIONS
- Prepare the chicken chunks first. Slice the breast pieces into thin stripes. Keep them about 1/4th of an inch. Place them in a medium-sized bowl. Add the remaining mixture now from the “For chicken” part, mix them well. The olive oil acts as the batter to stick them together. Now, preheat a large skillet and place the flame in medium heat. Now, it’s time to slightly saute the chicken slices, maybe like 5 to 8 minutes. You can see them turn light brown, burnt and smell the cooked chicken. It’s done now.
- Prepare the coleslaw now. When the chicken was cooking at medium heat, get all the chopped ingredients from under the “For coleslaw” and mix them well. Keep them aside for topping later.
- Now, prepare the chipotle sauce. Combine all the ingredients under it, and put them to a grinder/blender or food processor. Mixed well, keep it aside. You could use a kind of plastic bag with a small hole for applying.
- Finally, assemble the skinny healthy tacos. Inside each of the tortillas spread the chicken, the slaw, the Gallo, and the guacamole. Pipe the sauce over it or just spread with a spoon. Serve at normal temperatures.
NOTES – The type of tortillas you use can differ. You can swap them for flatbread, rotlas, chapattis made from barley and multigrain rotis too.
