Who says boneless, skinless chicken breasts have to be boring? This chicken has TONS of flavor! It's got spice from the chiles, some tang from the lime juice, and just a hint of sweetness from the brown sugar. We're in love.
What's taco Tuesday without some booze? Try pairing these tacos with one of our favorite cocktails: moscato margaritas!
