Chicken Lettuce Tacos
Ok, I realize it looks like WTH tacos, but I promise they buttoned up nicely when in hand. These tacos had a light, delicate fresh taste with simple ingredients. The chicken tacos were done in the early days of Uglyade. Was beginning to realize Uglyade is not only a marinade but a great salad dressing too.

Ingredients
Chicken Parts
- 2 lb chicken breast about 3-4
- ¼ cup Uglyade
- 1/4 tsp salt to taste
- 1/4 tsp pepper
Taco Parts
- 12 oz head of lettuce
- 4 oz avocado
- 8 oz bell pepper orange, or red
- 1/2 cup purple onion
- 5 oz cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup cilantro chopped
- 2 oz Uglyade
Instructions
Chicken Cook
- In a bag marinade chicken breast in salt, pepper, and Uglyade for at least 2 hours.
- I baked these in Pyrex at 350 for 40 minutes. If juices run clear your chicken is done.
- Let cool and cut into strips against the grain. If you see pink in chicken reheat in microwave for a minute, check, and repeat until chicken is all white.
Taco Part Prep
- Wash all veggies.
- Pull several good sized leaves of lettuce off head. Optionally cut thick part of vein off.
- Cut purple onion and bell pepper into ¼ inch strips
- Cut tomatoes in half.
- Cut avocado like above or in cubes. Either will work.
- Chop up some cilantro.
- The Build
- Place a lettuce leave in hand.
- Add chicken, bell pepper, onion, 2-3 tomato halves, avocado and chopped cilantro.
- When you get all your tacos made drizzle Uglyade in them.
- Add as much or as little as you want but note a lettuce leaf can only hold so much.
