Method
- Combine lemon juice, herbs and oil and reserve half for the Feta Salsa. Pour the remaining dressing over the chicken and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Heat a char-grill pan or BBQ over medium-high heat. Cook corn cob turning, for 15-20 minutes or until charred and tender. Cut the kernels from the cob and combine with the remaining feta salsa ingredients and reserved dressing.
- Cook chicken on the hot grill or BBQ chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side or until chicken is cooked through. Remove for heat and slice into thick pieces.
- Combine the avocado and sour cream and season with pepper.
- Make your own tacos with heated taco shells and bowls of grilled chicken, feta salsa and avocado smash.
Handy Tips
If you are in a hurry substitute the charred corn for drained canned corn kernels.
Chicken can be substituted for beef.
