Inspired by the best chicken chipotle tacos I’ve had! Gluten free, easy, healthy, and tasty tacos that everyone will love. They’re full of flavor, filling, and healthy. One bite, and you’ll be hooked!

These tacos are the best flavorful lunch or dinner recipe for when you’re into something different. I’m always craving tacos, and these are a great option because they’re easy to make plus they’re super delicious and healthy. They’re filled with a super flavorful mix of chipotle chicken, sliced grilled bell pepper and onions, cilantro, and extra chipotle sauce. So, make sure to set some sauce aside to have enough for every taco at the end. To be on the safe side, I like to double the sauce ingredients to make sure I have enough of it (because to be honest, there’s never enough sauce 😉). Just make sure to set half of the sauce aside before pouring half of it into the chicken.

If you like tacos as I do, this will be your new favorite recipe. They taste like the real deal; I believe one of the most important ingredients here is the tortilla. I always go with the 100% corn tortillas, since they’re gluten free plus, I think they taste better than flour tortillas. If you have corn flour at home, you may also make the tortillas yourself.

These are the best homemade chicken chipotle tacos so far!

What to eat these chicken chipotle tacos with?

Eat these hearty chicken chipotle tacos with some sliced avocado, guacamole, or squeezed lemon on top to make these even tastier. Or serve them with an extra side of grilled veggies.

I’m back!!! - after some months finishing my masters program, starting a new job, and moving twice… and finally I’m back!!! This makes me very happy! Cooking makes me feel very much at home and I had missed it.. a lot! So a big thank YOU for being here 🙆🏼‍♀️😁

As most of you know, black beans are one of my favourite foods. So it was just natural to make these black bean brownies. They are incredibly moist, soft, and fudgy and have become one of my favourites. I’ve tried them several times and I’ve finally found the perfect ingredient ratio. Don’t worry they don’t taste like black beans!

These are gluten free, low in sugar, and high in protein and fiber. Can’t wait for you to try them!

This buffalo chickpea toast was inspired by the ceaseless craving of my buffalo wings restaurant style. I wanted to try a healthy homemade recipe that tasted just as good.
