I keep forgetting to post this recipe. Last week we went to the Wicker Park ‘Farmer’s Market’ and got a couple things (not really a farmer’s market more like 3 tables with a so so selection of random things). But we did manage to find a few things that looked really great. One of them was a bunch of radishes. I don’t really buy them that often but they looked really good to me for whatever reason.

So we get home and are trying to figure out what to do with these things. I was thinking there has to be something else you can do with radishes besides just throwing them in a salad or a slaw. I found this recipe and it was awesome! Really easy to make and nice summer dish.

This version makes enough for 2

2 skinless boneless chicken breasts
Juice of one small to medium sized lime (about 2 tbsp-ish I don’t really measure)
2 chipotle peppers (I used the canned ones in adobo sauce if you don’t really like spicy only use one)

5 tsp olive oil (enough to lightly cover the bottom of your skillet)
3 green onions – thinly sliced
1/2 cup chicken broth

5 or 6 radishes – trimmed halved and thinly sliced
1 tbsp fresh cilantro chopped

6 flour or corn tortillas

Combine chicken, half the lime juice and chipotles in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper, toss to blend and let stand for 10 minutes. Heat 4 tsp of olive oil in a skillet over high heat. Add chicken mixture and sauté for 3 minutes. Stir in green onions and broth cover and cook for 5 minutes.

Uncover and stir. Continue cooking until chicken is cooked through and most of the liquid evaporates (2-5 minutes). Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl and shred the chicken breasts. Cover the bowl to keep warm.

Heat remaining 1 tsp of olive oil in the same skillet over high heat and sauté the radishes for 1 minute. Stir in the remaining lime juice. Season with salt and pepper. Add radishes and cilantro to bowl with chicken and toss to blend.

Divide the mixture between the 6 tortillas and serve with or without standard taco fixin’ (lettuce, tomato, cheese, hot sauce, salsa, beans whatever you want)
