Caribbean Tacos Recipe Description: Fabulous, fresh chicken tacos. Prep Time: 2 Hours Cook Time: 1 Hours and 30 MinutesServings: 8 Difficulty: Easy Recipe Ingredients: For the chicken: 1 four-five pound organic, free range roasting chicken organic extra virgin olive oil unfined sea salt Sauce for the chicken: 4 tablespoons raw honey Juice of one large lime 1 tablespoon organic coconut oil 2 teaspoon chili powder 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon unrefined sea salt For the salsa: 1 mango, diced 1/4 honey dew melon, diced 1/2 small red onion, minced 1/4 cup chopped cilantro 1/2 - 1 (depending on taste) jalapeno, seeded and chopped Juice of 1 lime 2 tablespoons raw honey 1/4 teaspoon unrefined sea salt Recipe Instructions: For the chicken: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cover the chicken with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Bake uncovered for 1 1 /2 - 2 hours in a roaster with a rack until the meat reaches at least 165 degrees. Take out of the oven, cover with foil and let sit for 1 1/2 hours in the pan. This will force the juices back into the meat and make it very moist. The meat will stay hot so don't worry about it spoiling. Shred the chicken. For the sauce, mix together the honey, lime juice, coconut oil and chili powder. Pour over the chicken and mix well. For the salsa: Chop each ingredient (mango, honey dew melon, onion, cilantro, jalapeno) in the food processor separately. Mix all chopped ingredients in a bowl and add the lime juice, honey and sea salt. Mix well. Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours before serving. Serve the tacos with soaked whole-grain or corn tortillas. Author: persimmonpudding I'm a wife of 19 years and a stay-at-home- mother to three daughters ages 15, 10 and 5.

Such a great recipe. It is fresh and delicious. I love that it calls for a roasting chicken also so that I can make chicken stock with the bones. Reply
