Ingredients

9 large skinless boneless chicken thighs, fat trimmed, chicken cut into 1/2-inch pieces
4 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 1/2 teaspoons crushed chipotle chilies*
6 teaspoons olive oil
9 green onions (white and pale green parts only), thinly sliced

Preparation

Transfer to bowl; cover to keep warm.

    Heat remaining 2 teaspoons oil in same skillet over high heat. Add radishes and sauté 1 minute. Stir in remaining 1 tablespoon lime juice. Season with salt and pepper. Add radishes and cilantro to bowl with chicken and toss to blend.

  2. Step 3

    Divide chicken mixture among 6 plates. Sprinkle with reserved sliced radish leaves. Garnish with lime wedges. Serve hot tortillas alongside.

  3. Step 4

    *Crushed chipotle chilies (dried smoked jalapeño chilies) are available in the spice section of some supermarkets.
