This dish is a fiesta of flavors IN YOUR MOUTH. I love Mexican food, and when I say that, I really mean...I love eating ground turkey tacos with all the fixings since most Mexican restaurants:
- don't carry Go Veggie cheese
- use Greek yogurt as sour cream
- their gluten free credibility is often questionable...
SO, my love of Mexican is often contained to my own kitchen but that is where getting creative comes into play!

Tips/Notes
-*If you aren't fortunate enough to find a premade Cilantro and Lime Marinade, you can create your own marinade using cilantro and lime juice with garlic OR there are some seasonings out there, such as True Lime that are a Cilantro, Lime and Garlic Blend
- This bowl can be created with grilled chicken or skillet cooked chicken as well, but the Baked Chicken in the marinade yields the juiciest results!
