Shredded Chicken Tacos with Mango Salsa


Serves: 4

Look for crema, the Mexican version of sour cream, in Mexican markets or the international aisle of most supermarkets. You could also thin sour cream with 1/2 teaspoon lime juice.

Dovetailing Tip: Use the chicken you shredded from Meal 3.

1. Place chicken in a skillet, and cover with water; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil 1 minute. Remove pan from heat; cover and let stand 15 minutes or until chicken is done. Remove chicken from pan; cool slightly. Tear chicken into strips. Combine 2 tablespoons juice, oil, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Add chicken; toss to coat.
