Cilantro Lime Pesto Chicken Tacos

Cooking spray

2-3 large boneless, skinless, chicken breasts, but in bite sized pieces

salt and pepper to taste

1 teaspoon garlic powder

tortillas

garnishes of your choice

Season chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.  In a skillet sprayed with cooking spray, saute chicken until cooked through.

 For pesto:

1 cup fresh cilantro leaves, no stems

2 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons sliced, toasted almonds

3 tablespoons chopped fresh garlic

1 1/2 teaspoons lime juice

1/2 cup shredded asiago, parmesan, or romano cheese (I used romano)

1 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/4 cup chicken broth

Mix all of the above ingredients in a blender on low speed for 2 minutes.

 Toss cooked, seasoned chicken with the pesto.

 Fill tortillas with chicken and top with desired garnishes.  I sauteed some yellow peppers and white onion and then added some avocado slices and sour cream.

These are SO GOOD!!!!  Get ready, they will go quick!!  Enjoy!  :)
