Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1 cup salsa
- 8 pieces small tortillas
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 1 piece lime
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro

Instructions
Trim the chicken breasts and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Rub the chicken breasts evenly with taco seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
Warm the tortillas by heating them in a dry skillet for 30 seconds on each side or microwaving them for 10-15 seconds.
Assemble the tacos by layering sliced chicken, salsa, lettuce, shredded cheddar cheese, and a dollop of sour cream onto each tortilla.
Garnish the tacos with a squeeze of fresh lime juice and a sprinkling of chopped cilantro.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
