These Mini Honey Sriracha Chicken Taco Boats are spicy and sweet chicken tacos topped with an avocado crema. These two-bite tacos are a great appetizer!
These Mini Honey Sriracha Chicken Taco Boats are spicy and sweet chicken tacos topped with an avocado crema. When I was brainstorming ideas for these tacos I opened my fridge and low and behold a bottle of Sriracha sauce was staring me in the face. My husband puts that stuff on everything he eats – appropriate or not. You just can’t beat the sweet and spicy combo of the sweet honey and the spicy Sriracha. I tested this out several times to get the sauce perfect!
Half of the marinade is used to actually marinate the chicken and the other half acts as a sauce after the chicken has been cooked. Add a little rice to the bottom of each taco boat and top with your cooked chicken. Because these are so spicy, an avocado crema made from avocado and sour cream, is the perfect compliment.
Did I mention these are MINI Taco Boats from Old El Paso? Why does mini make everything better, cuter, and more delicious?
