Green Chile Chicken Tacos and a GIVEAWAY!!!!

By on September 4, 2012 in Grilling, Main Courses, Recipes

So I have a special treat today! A product review and an AMAZING giveaway of products from Stubb’s BBQ!  Attempting to make the best barbecue, Stubb’s line of sauces, rubs and marinades are made with all natural ingredients and are gluten free and contain no high fructose corn syrup. I was thrilled to get to try the brand new Green Chili Marinade. This marinade combines hatch chilies with garlic and lime for a spicy, tangy marinade that works beautifully with any type of meat.

Since I love a challenge, I wanted to find the perfect meal to build around this unique and tangy marinade. I decided on chicken tacos. This dish is low in calories and packed with tasty chili flavors. Along with Green Chili marinated chicken, I added a simple vinegar slaw for crunch and wrapped it all up in a whole wheat tortilla. The end result was fantastic! The chilies, lime and garlic really shone through and added enough heat for a tasty kick without overpowering the palate. A serving of two tacos has only 371 calories, so it’s a guilt free meal as well.

Interested in trying Stubbs products? You can buy their full line on the website or find their products at Kroger, Stop N’ Shop, ShopRite, Whole Foods, Albertson’s, Star Market and Bristol Farms. The Green Chili marinade is making its way to shelves right now!

    The tacos look awesome! Now that I’m all about spices, I think I could actually give them a try. And if I win the gift basket (because I already like you on facebook), I’m going to have a certain someone make dinner with those marinades!

      I assume I am that certain someone.Btw, thanks for turning her on to the spice rack.The tacos do look great and I would like to make them. Also, how do you think the marinade would be with flank steak? I already follow you on facebook.

      • Dara September 6, 2012 at 2:13 pm #

        Thanks for stopping by Lamont! I think flank steak would be perfect – it’s my favorite meat to marinate because it soaks it up well.
