Directions:
In a large resealable bag, add the chicken.
For the Marinade:
Add olive oil, lime juice, honey, garlic, cilantro, and lemon zest to a mixing bowl. Stir until well blended.
Pour the mixture into the bag with the chicken. Seal the bag, then shake it until well coated.
Place the bag inside the fridge and marinate the chicken for at least 4 hours or overnight.
For the Coleslaw:
Add carrots, cabbage, cilantro, and green onions into a mixing bowl. Stir until well mixed.
In a separate bowl, add olive oil, lime juice, salt, and honey. Stir until well mixed.
Transfer the mixture into the bowl with the coleslaw, then toss until well coated.
For the Avocado Crema:
In the food processor, add lime juice, avocado, cilantro, garlic, sriracha, salt, pepper, and yoghurt. Pulse until well blended.
Add water and olive oil while it’s still on, then mix until smooth.
To Cook the Chicken:
Prepare the grill and preheat to medium-high.
Add the marinated chicken over the preheated grill, then season with salt. Cook each side for about 5 minutes or until done.
Place the grilled chicken onto a cutting board. Allow them to rest for a few minutes.
To Serve:
Add a chicken in the middle of a tortilla, then add the coleslaw and a drizzle of avocado crema on top.
Squeeze lime on top. Repeat the process with the rest of the ingredients.
Serve and enjoy!
