Delicious Lime Taco Recipe

There's something about the changing of seasons that makes me want to try new recipes... I think it's part of my search to find the go-to dish for that season.  Well, I think I did just that last week when I came across this recipe from allrecipes.com and decided to try it out.  Ever since I tried Pioneer Woman's pulled pork on a tortilla with lime juice on top, I've been hooked on experimenting with lime juice on anything and everything.  Lime juice on chicken tacos?  Yes, please!  I changed up the recipe a bit- thanks to some of the reviewers of the recipe but you can find the original here- and the tacos got two thumbs up from both D and me.  D (who isn't a fan of leftovers) took the remaining chicken the next day for lunch and loved it again!  So if you want a quick and easy meal with a twist, give it a try and let me know what you think!
