If you're looking for easy meal that will also add a little kick to your everyday meal routine, this is it! This recipe only contains a few ingredients that you basically throw into a skillet and heat, and the taste is so freshingly different it was a hit with our entire family--even the picky ones!

You could easily double, triple, or even quadruple this meal and toss the leftovers in the freezer to pull out in the future when you're in a pinch.

Lime Chicken Tacos
Adapted from Taste of Home's Simple and Delicious

Ingredients:
2-4 cups shredded chicken (I love to cook up a chicken in my crock pot, then use the meat for recipes like this)
3 Tbsp. lime juice
1 Tbsp. chili powder
1 cup frozen corn
1 cup chunky salsa (Note: Although it is easy to find salsa without added sugar, make sure you read the label to see whether the brand you've grabbed puts in any added sweeteners.)
Additional toppings, like cheese, sour cream, lettuce, etc.

Directions:
Spray a skillet with olive oil, then toss in all of the ingredients (excluding the additional toppings). Cook on medium heat until heated through, and serve. You can serve this over lettuce for a salad, on top of chips for nachos (I recommend Target's Archer Farms organic blue corn with flax seed chips), or with whole wheat, sprouted wheat, or sprouted corn tortillas for tacos. I've found the sprouted tortillas in the frozen or refrigerated health food section at the grocery store. You can also make your own whole wheat tortillas, and they blow the socks off the store bought ones.

As an alternative, consider substituting tomato sauce for the salsa to make this recipe more kid-friendly.
