Hi Everyone! Can you believe it is Thursday already? The year is nearly over and we are almost into 2008. It's nearly been a year since I started putting together Easy Tastebud Delights and I'm still enjoying it immensely. I'm learning alot and have gotten some very wonderful feedback from the members. Thank you everyone for your comments. They've been most helpful.

As promised the next few days will be member submissions or recipes shared through recipe groups that I belong to or moderate. If you have a recipe that you would like to share through the newsletter, I always welcome them and truly look forward to receiving them.

Today's recipe was submitted by the moderator of lotsa-recipes yahoo group. I've shared quite a few of her recipes in the past because they sound so good. Thanks Jenn! Enjoy!

Chicken Tacos
Plan ahead when making this, as it needs to refrigerate 8 hours or overnight

1/3 cup olive or vegetable oil
1/4 cup lime juice
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley or 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon pepper
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (1 1/4 pounds)
6 (8-inch) flour tortillas or taco shells, warmed
Toppings of your choice

In a large resealable plastic bag or shallow glass container, combine the first 8 ingredients. Add chicken and turn to coat. Seal or cover and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight, turning occasionally. Drain and discard marinade.
Grill chicken, uncovered, over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes on each side or until juices run clear.
Cut into thin strips; serve in tortillas or taco shells with desired toppings.
Serves 6.
