Prep:
10 minutes
Cook:
15 minutes
Ingredients:
8 oz. raw extra-lean ground chicken (at least 98% lean)
2 tbsp. crumbled feta cheese
2 tbsp. finely chopped onion
1 tbsp. + 1/4 tsp. taco seasoning, divided
4 street-taco-sized corn tortillas
3/4 cup frozen sweet corn kernels, thawed
1 1/2 tbsp. whipped cream cheese
1 tbsp. light mayonnaise
1/2 tsp. lime juice
1 dash cayenne pepper
2 tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro
Directions:
In a medium bowl, combine chicken, feta, onion, and 1 tbsp. taco seasoning. Mix thoroughly. Press one fourth of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla.
Bring a large skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium heat. Place two tortillas in the skillet, side by side and chicken-sides down. Using a spatula, smash the tortillas flat into the pan. Cook until chicken is fully cooked, about 4 minutes.
Flip tortillas. Cook until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Clean skillet, if needed. Respray, and return to medium heat. Repeat with remaining two chicken-topped tortillas.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine corn, cream cheese, mayo, lime juice, cayenne pepper, and remaining 1/4 tsp. taco seasoning. Mix until uniform. Microwave for 30 seconds, or until warm.
Spoon corn mixture over the loaded tortillas, top with cilantro, and fold to form tacos.
