Healthy Chicken Taco Recipe with Fresh Ingredients
These Healthy Fresh Chicken Tacos make me so happy.  Why?
  1.  Duh, It is a Taco recipe.
  2.  They are so easy to make.
  3.  They are fresh and healthy.
  4.  Did I say they are easy to make?
This Healthy Fresh Chicken Taco dish will soon be one of your favorite because it is easy to pull together (did I say that already) and makes the whole family happy because they to their taco however they want to make it their own.  If you are short on time pick up a rotisserie chicken to replace chicken breasts.  The use of fresh garden vegetables really gives these tacos a great clean delicious flavor.
If your family is sensitive to spicy foods, cut the peppers down to one jalapeño.  Serrano peppers are a bit more spicy and add a bigger kick.  Make sure to rinse your black beans to cut down on the sodium content.  Serve with Gluten Free tortilla shells to keep the recipe gluten free.
