Very tasty chicken & guac. Instead of using tortillas, I tossed leftover rice into the same pan I used to cook the chicken. Assembled chicken bits, rice and guac on a plate - delicious!
0 HelpfulReally good tacos and EXCELLENT guacamole. Will continue to use this guac recipe for sure.
0 HelpfulI decided to substitute the sweet potato for a Mexican cauliflower 'rice' which made this dish a little healthier while not making me feel as if I was missing out. The chicken marinade was delicious, as was the guacamole - however I would recommend omitting the garlic in this as it added a slightly astringent flavour at the end. Will be making this dish again!
0 HelpfulUsed lettuce wraps instead of putting it on the sweet potatoes. Delicious! My almost 2 year old loved it.
0 HelpfulEasy and great for a weeknight. Loved having a recipe to use the radishes from our garden!
